I have ITP'd FPC, the Free Pascal (Delphi/BP7 compatible) Compiler.. Unfortunately it's a BIG package and one I haven't had a chance to finish. It doesn't quite buildpackage yet from what I have here because when I left it I was in the middle of a major debian/rules cleanup. BUT, anybody familiar with debhelper will have little trouble figuring out what is beign done with it. If you want it, email me. Upstream people are quite friendly. I was hoping to have uploaded this weeks ago, but with school it looks like I won't be able to (I've gotten VERY behind in my classes and have been mostly waiting for other people to do the things they are supposed to so I can do the things I am supposed to...) Instead of doing my classwork and working on Debian I've been running around trying to find out why this thing isn't ready when it was supposed to be, why I haven't heard back from those people about this other thing, etc.. 6 weeks into the term and I don't even have a way to read my books for more than 10 minutes at a time and I'm STILL fighting with school equipment because the people in immediate charge of the equipment can't get the people ultimately in charge of it to teach them how to use it. And that latter group has been ignorant of proper operation of the equipment anyway (the difference between basic windoze/office97 courses and intermediate network management courses..) I could go on this tangent rant for six pages given the number and level of dumb things otherwise intelligent (FSVO) people have done (such as telling me they cannot make a reasonable accommodation for my disability and install some simple software that would make the system more accessable to me because they cannot buy it (free software) and they have a policy against shareware even if they could (and as many times as I have told them FREE SOFTWARE IS NOT SHAREWARE they don't seem to listen...)) but I'm not going to .... I think anyone still reading has a fair assessment of the personal hell I've landed in for deciding that I needed some schooling--not that anyone is actually still reading at this point! Okay, back on topic ... What I have is not yet in upstream CVS, but I can send you a complete tarball of my directory (CVS stuff included..) Since I was only logging in as anon until I actually had something working and was ready to commit (and was more sure of my ability to use CVS properly) what I have is all you'll need to pick up where I left off. Note that at the moment the compiler requires itself (or a cross-compiler) to build. If someone is extremely bored and wants to help them make the thing more portable, they'll probably be quite happy to accept the help. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer GnuPG: 2048g/3F9C2A43 - 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 PGP 2.6: 2048R/50BDA0ED - E8 D6 84 81 E3 A8 BB 77 8E E2 29 96 C9 44 5F BE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > But IANAL, of course. > > IANAL either.
