You are aware that Joost has already a completely function system for this

No. I mean, I was aware that Joost is working on a package manager for fpc,
but I didn't know any details about his work. Unfortunately this wasn't
properly communicated between the two teams.
Well, Joost finished not so long ago, and there are still some issues, but
it's all coming together now.
We're going to roll it out for FPC after 3.2, and I suppose you could
piggy-back on it
for the OPM. As far as I know joost has been working actively on bridging
the lazarus package system with the fppkg system in lazarus,
so I imagine it should not be too much work for you.
That would be awesome. I will check the package manager with FPC 3.2.
Thanks for the information.
You're welcome.
The idea is to need as little human intervention as possible.
Only approving a new package would require admin intervention.
I still need to rewrite the web-front end in pas2js, but from what I've seen
that should also not be too much work. It's in my top-3 TODO when the texts
for the Lazarus book are done.
You're writing the whole book alone, or do you have dedicated chapters?
Oh no, I'm not writing alone, but meanwhile I do think I wrote the biggest part.
but I'm not exactly sure. Only when the final version is there will I know,
but that should be really soon now... :)
Michael.
