Yes. > So which url will be used? Sourceforge, freepascal.org...

Yes I agree! This is one of the reason we decide to go with a central repository. Each package can be also updated from the developers webpage(it can be anything: sourceforge, github, personal page, etc...) -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/Lazarus-Online-Package-Manager-tp4049766p4051353.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
