Hi again.

On the download sites I always see for Linux downloads:

1. Lazarus (needs fpc and fpc-src)
followed by lazarus-1.1.39945-20130124.laz.x86_64.rpm 65Mo then
2. Lazarus fixes (needs fpc and fpc-src)
followed by lazarus-1.0.5.39944-20130124.laz.x86_64.rpm 63Mo

What is the subtle difference between them ?
When installing the # 1. should the # 2. be installed too ? Only # 1. is needed ?

A little explanation would be appreciated.

Antonio.

1.1 is the development version (experimental).
1.0.5 the fixes version (last release plus some bug fixes).

Only one is needed.

In fairness, that's the "Daily Snapshot" page, not the "Download" page. Rather more serious is that the last update on the explanatory wiki page was in 2011.

Look at the version numbers: 1.1 is trunk, 1.0.5 is stable+fixes (the main download page is 1.0.4 so hasn't quite caught up). Choose and keep separate.

What do you mean by "hasn't quite caught up"? It is up to date, isn't it?

I was trying not to make a value judgment as to whether that was intentional or not. Obviously going by the numbering convention- which the OP might not be familiar with- 1.0.4 is a stable "stable+fixes", while 1.0.5 is just how it's described: an automatically-generated snapshot slightly ahead of reality.

Yes, and 1.0.4 is a release and the download page contains released versions and no snapshots. So it will never catch up to 1.0.5, only to to 1.0.6 when that is released. But I would not call that catching up.

I did not hear a value judgement, I guess, but an expectation or a possibility, which I don't see.
