I have several instances of Lazaurs now on my system (1.6RC1, 1.6RC2 and 1.6 release).
On 1.6RC2 I installed a few external packages like Indy10 etc.

Now in order to work on the project in release 1.6 I need to install these also into that latest Lazarus version.

Do I need separate sources for each Lazarus version or can I just install the packages from the same source location? I am using separate Lazarus configuration directories for each version. And it is all in Raspbian Jessie.

Finally: All runs on FPC 3.0.0 release.

Do I need separate sources for each Lazarus version

Under Windows, I have never had any problems using the same package source for multiple IDEs. Mind you, my two Lazarus's are target different CPUs (win32 and win64) as well as different builds and I have this target name in various compile folders
IDE - Project Options - Paths - Unit Output Directory = "...${TargetCPU}..."
Each Package - Package Options - Paths - Unit Output Directory = "... ${TargetCPU}..."

(where ... just represents the other stuff I have in those folder names)

Mike
