[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#823706: Lazarus 1.6 source files are missing

[Abou Al Montacir]

Control: reassign -1 lazarus

Hi All,

I was looking into this bug and it seems somewhat more complex than I was
thinking.

It looks like Lazarus is now shipping much more components that are not compiled
when building the IDE using the bigide make target. This means that those
packages are not meant to be distributed as binaries, but as source packages.

Moreover, these should not be packaged as part of lazarus-src, but in separate
src packages. One needs then to define a real strategy how to handle those
packages as well as third party packages. Thus this ticket may stay open a
little bit longer.

Personally I think that this decision should involve upstream as they could give
more information about packages philosophy and how it may evolve in the future.
