Hi,
( apologies for cross-posting )
I'm in the process of investigating the possible path I should take to help the Debian pkg-pascal-team to provide backport's packages for Debian Wheezy and Jessie ( and why not Squeeze LTS ). Will the Lazarus 1.2.x tree continue to support fpc 2.6.0 ?
OTH, maybe it's more easy to just package the latest stable for both FPC and Lazarus ( 2.6.4 and 1.2.6 ) for all Debian versions.
What do you think ?
Regards,
We don't test with that version (2.6.0 is from 1st Jan 2012). But 1.2.x only receives bug fixes so chances are high that 1.2.6 compiles with the same compilers as 1.2.0. Does it compile with 2.6.0?

It would be a big plus if any new Debian release would use the latest fpc/laz version.
OTOH I'm not sure if backport users want the latest and greatest. 2.6.4 introduced some incompatibilities vs 2.6.0. If some backport user want the latest and greatest he can download it from our sf page.

Given a small number of annoying bugs in 2.6.4, perhaps 2.6.2 is a better idea?

I assume that those bugs are fixed in 2.6 fixes branch, so I'll be able to
create patches, am I right ?

If you don't test Lazarus against 2.6.0, then IMHO the only option for anyone to have Lazarus 1.2.6 to Wheezy is to use fpc 2.6.4 . Even if Lazarus 1.2.6 can be compiled with 2.6.0.

No. As far as I'm aware, this is not the case for bug http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26068
