Thanks, and now I learned how to find out the tags as well: svn ls "^/tags"
inside a checked out source (I have trunk, but I want the stable release too)

Don't. Use the source link at http://www.freepascal.org/download.var

If you really have to, despite being told not to, then I think I've already given you an example like this:

svn ls http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags

hence that returns

..
release_2_6_4/
release_2_6_4_rc1/
..

so you can do something like

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_6_4/ my_2.6.4_source

Well prior to starting this thread I had done that and came to this location for the 2.6.4 sources:
http://www.freepascal.org/down/source/sources-austria.var But that page confused me when it talked about two different archives fpcbuild and fpc with a very big size difference too. Which one I need to select is not obvious to me. I just want to build 2.6.4 on my RPi2 device. By the sound of it fpcbuild might be the one, but then again what is the purpose of the fpc archives if one cannot build off of them?
Figured that by using svn I would get exactly what is needed for bulding fpc...

I've already- strongly- suggested that you use fpcbuild. That's a complete snapshot which won't be subject to retroactive patches, which you only have to download once, and which you can copy between machines without local svn deciding it doesn't like something.

Lost that exact advice. But now I know so I will stick with fpcbuild. Thanks!

You'll need to switch to the fpcsrc directory it contains, after which building FPC is exactly the same as e.g. if you've got trunk from svn.
