Thank you for the suggestions. I agree, the whole system is somewhat confusing, especially if you take into account that the packages can also be updated from the maintainers webpage. I did my best to explain how it works: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Online_Package_Manager#Difference_between_download.2Finstall.2Fupdate > @Alexey > it would be very good, if all Json files, for components, > will be hosted on one Github repo.

We did try to move all the json to one place, however some of the developers prefer GitHub, others BitBucket or SourceForge. It's very hard to convince somebody to move just for the sake of OPM. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/Lazarus-Online-Package-Manager-tp4049766p4051305.html Sent from the Free Pascal - Lazarus mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
