Lazarus is really superb enables you to work quickly and well . Over the years I have found that I use it really well, but I speak with anyone who shares my thoughts on some difficulties during installation . For example, it seems absurd that does not have an updated repository for various Linux distributions derived from Debian . It would be nice if there was an official repository of lazarus from which you can install with a few simple commands that you want the version of lazarus . For example, if I want to install the 1.0.14 write
sudo apt- get install lazarus - 1.0.14
I write if I want 1.1.0
sudo apt- get install lazarus - 1.1.0
and so on. Another very interesting thing would be that you could update lazarus / fpc directly from the IDE, select the version you prefer . They are not the most updated version. What do you think? It would be feasible , perhaps by adopting a " Lazarus Software Center " from which to upgrade your version of Lazarus and add the package directly !
