Hello everybody,

I'm happy to announce that release 2.0.4 is
finally out, bringing you lots of fixes and some
enhancements over the previous officially
released versions. I hope you'll enjoy the
release, special thanks go to all of you who
helped us with their all kinds of contributions
(bug reports, patches and release candidate
testing).

Greetings

Tomas
(on behalf of the whole FPC team)

Thank you very much, I was waiting for the release of 2.0.4 so I could compile .DEB packages for Ubuntu Dapper as I had previously compiled the 2.0.2 release for Ubuntu for people to download. I just found out that there are now official .DEB packages so it will no longer be necessary for me to build them, great stuff. It would be nice to see 64 bit .DEB packages downloadable too, in the future maybe. I think .DEB packages are very important to support, since Ubuntu is now one of the top Linux distros.

.deb packages will only be available if there are volunteers to build them. There were for i386, but not x86_64.

One problem with .deb packages (and also with .rpm) is that one needs a full Latex installation on his system in order to be able to compile the documentation. With .tar this is not necessary, because people who build a package can use a pre-built documentation set.

The result is that most people who maintain a platform choose to build .tar only. Of course, another point is that not everyone in the team uses Debian or a Debian derivate. The x86_64 release was built by someone who uses SuSE.

Wrong filename. :-( Use dos204-full.zip temporarily, I'll fix it tonight.

Might I sujest that it would be great if someone build DEB packages for Lazarus =)

Personally I use Mandriva (rpm based), but I see lot´s of people with install issues with Lazarus because of the lack of deb packages.

There are some files to build a package on subversion. I´m not sure if they are compile.
