Package support. Was any work done on this? Who was working on it? How far did they get? Did anyone write up a package-architecture documentation of any kind? Is there any package-docs that describe a proposed object-oriented packaging system for the freepascal compiler/linker?
I am a fairly competent Unix/Posix developer already in C, and a god-like Delphi objectPascal developer (as well as incredibly humble <grin>), and I'd sure like to help fpc and lazarus evolve into being a real Delphi-like open source set of tools. Right now I think that fpc needs a lot more features (like complete support for packages, variants including var-arrays) before I start into contribs for Lazarus. The fact that Lazarus component "packages" require a recompilation of lazarus itself is proof positive that Lazarus will be stuck in a rut until FPC evolves a little. I've always wanted to get my hands dirty inside compiler/linker code, so here goes...
