fpcup downloads (or updates) and installs fpc+lazarus and compiles them+adds some shortcuts/shell scripts that start up the new Lazarus. Both the newly installed FPC and Lazarus could reside in the same directory or at least subdirectories eg: ~ \ trunk | +-Lazarus +-fpc You'd need to provide the suitable directories to fpcup in the command line (see fpcup --help). A GUI for all of this is in development. While the point of the program is to provide developers with an up to date version of SVN trunk (or whichever SVN branch/tag you want to track), it does not install documentation etc at the moment, or provide for a binary install (without downloading sources from SVN), and I think the .deb and .rpm packages are more suitable for that. However, the desired goal of the program is that you run it and just get a working SVN version of Lazarus and FPC. I suggest you try it on your Linux distro and see what happens. It is designed to leave any existing Lazarus and FPC installs alone (unless, of course, the installation directories overlap; see fpcup --help for options) If you encounter any bugs, I'd be happy to try and fix them.
