Suggestions: :) - replace 'Debug:' with 'Progress:' or 'Info:'. The messages are useful :) - show some progress when checking out sources. The wait can be very long. - option to not install/update fpc or lazarus (fe. setting the corresponding dir or url to '') - in side by side, it is still juggling with command line parameters. Would be nice if fpcup would leave the settings in a .conf or .ini in the install dirs and when running fpcup from that dir it would pick up these settings and re-use them. Running fpcup in that dir with new parameters would update the settings. Similar to svn: you only specify the svn url once and do just an 'update' from then on. - (I hesitated to put this in the category "bugs") lazarus is configured to use (default on ubuntu) ~/fpc/bin/fpc. I have 2.4.4 installed with a /etc/fpc.cfg and ~/fpc/bin/fpc will just launch 2.4.4. Changing the compiler to ~/fpc/compiler/ppc386 and copying fpc.cfg to ~/fpc/compiler/ still fails because the compiler still picks up /etc/fpc.cfg. AFAIK the fpc.cfg in the compiler dir will only be picked up when there is no .fpc.cfg in the home directory nor a fpc.cfg in the current directory nor one in the path specified by PPC_CONFIG_PATH nor a /etc/fpc.cfg. Detecting a conflicting fpc.cfg and warning the user would be nice. Solving the problem would be more difficult. If "side by side" would be limited to different version numbers/architectures (as opposed to different revisions of the same version/architecture) then a 'pkexec make install INSTALL_PREFIX="whatever found in /etc/fpc.cfg" ' would be a solution.
