Any plans for Laz v0.9.31 and FPC 2.5.1 for linux?

[gasdeveloper]

I am working with the FPC 2.5.1 and Lazarus 0.9.31 on windows 7 64 bit and then trying to use the code on my Ubuntu 10.04 computer so I can compile it to run on my servers.

However a lot of the features that I use and love in FPC 2.5.1 do not exist in 2.4.0 which is the current version in the ubuntu apt-get repository. And even with the downloads from the website there are no DEB packages with FPC 2.5.1 even if the IDE is not 0.9.31 I don't think it would be so bad.

are there any plans on making a Lazarus with FPC 2.5.1 for download or a snapshot job for this?

FPC 2.5.1 are not release versions, but is the current version of trunk and changes daily. While there are sometimes lazarus snapshots for it, I doubt it will be released into ubuntu/debian repositories.

Grab the source and compile yourself, that's what I do monthly.

thanks for the replies, I did get the source and compile it. It was just confusing at first since I am really more a developer on windows and linux is sometimes overwhelming 

But I was pointed to the document in the wiki for it and I am now using FPC 2.5.1 on ubuntu. Thanks for the suggestions and help.

Take a look at CodeTyphon project. It seams that latest 1.30 version uses just what you want, and as a plus you can cross compile directly from Windows (not a must, just a convenience).

Thanks for the link to codetyphon, however I really would rather not cross compile. Just don't feel as warm and cozy inside.

However I did make a couple shell scripts that automate the svn update, create .deb, and then installation. So, I don't have any headaches with it at the moment anymore. I am planning on posting the scripts to my website as soon as I have them a bit more polished

will link to them once uploaded.

You don't have to. You can run CodeTyphon directly from linux:

4 CPU-Operating Systems Host Layers (Win32, Win64, Linux32, Linux64).

hm, I will have to try that out then, could be a lot simpler. Thanks.
