hello.

I would like to ask, is it possible to get on a regular basis tar installers somewhere for FPC from main and fixes branches for x86_64-linux and corresponding FPC sources tarballs?

These installers are convenient when generating build environment image (e. g. in Docker). If they will be updated on a regular basis it will allow to update FPC in build environment image in automated manner.

You can get the tar built by the latest CI run from

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/build/-/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/fpc-3.3.1.x86_64-linux.tar?job=build-job <https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/build/-/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/fpc-3.3.1.x86_64-linux.tar?job=build-job>

and

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/build/-/jobs/artifacts/fixes_3_2/raw/fpc-3.2.3.x86_64-linux.tar?job=build-job <https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/build/-/jobs/artifacts/fixes_3_2/raw/fpc-3.2.3.x86_64-linux.tar?job=build-job>

Thanks, this is what I need.

But I need its corresponding source too in order to build cross-compilers. Can exported sources in tarball be retrieved somewhere too?

In theory there might be the danger of a race condition, but I see no good way to prevent this.

I don't think that this race condition is very critical, after all we can always just restart building image (and redownload sources in the process) if it fails to compile.

Thanks.

I just checked, and their fpcsrc directory is empty. BTW, how frequently they are updated?

One way is to include source tarball straight into a tar installer (in is not necessary to install it, just include). This package will be useful for Docker-like images like ours, which include native FPC and its cross-compilers.
