Nope, my Lazarus is installed in /opt/lazarus/ directory. The configuration files (which include external packages listing) are stored in $HOME/.lazarus/ directory. So even if I upgrade or reinstall Lazarus, it does not touch my configuration files. I have been working like this for years. I actually have two icons on my desktop, and both use the --pcp= parameter with different profile directories. Lazarus (stable) -> $HOME/.lazarus-stable/ Lazarus (unstable). -> $HOME/.lazarus/ Now only if I could tell Lazarus (Tools > Configure Build Lazarus) what my desired output filename must be, instead of always defaulting to 'lazarus' Anybody know if this is possible?
