Hi,

I am trying to update the packages of fpc in Mandrake Linux Cooker for the upcoming 9.2 release.

First problem is that there does not seem to be a place I can find a single source tarball for the current release. I could use the zip files, but it isn't ideal ... I would have to convert them all to bzip2 etc.

Secondly, the source archive in the SRPM on the mirrors is corrupt:

The md5sum on the srpm checks out (BTW, it might be an idea to sign the RPMs ...):
$ rpm -K fpc-1.0.10-0.src.rpm
fpc-1.0.10-0.src.rpm: md5 OK

the SRPM installs:
$ rpm -ivh fpc-1.0.10-0.src.rpm
1:fpc ########################################### [100%]

But the tarball won't unpack:

$ tar -tzf `rpm --eval %_sourcedir`/fpc-1.0.10-src.tar.gz Makefile
Makefile.fpc
compiler/
compiler/Makefile
compiler/Makefile.fpc

...

utils/tply/yaccpars.pas
utils/tply/yaccsem.pas
utils/tply/yacctabl.pas
utils/tply/yylex.cod
utils/tply/yyparse.cod

gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Would it be possible to address this issue?

In the meantime I may try checking out a copy from CVS, but it would make life much more pleasant for packagers if you had a single place to find a source package. This may be one of the reasons that fpc is outdated in many linux distributions ...

Regards,
Buchan

I've put a source tarball (corresponding to the contents of the source rpm) at
<ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/dist/source-1.0.10/fpc-1.0.10- src.tar.gz>. It should be on the mirrors tomorrow as well.

I personally can't create a new rpm, unfortunately.
