I have experienced the same frustration many times. Unfortunately, Lazarus uses centralized version control, which effectively prevents non-core developers from developing sizeable features in reasonable time. Still, there is a hope for you -- Lazarus has a Mercurial and Git mirrors: http://wiki.freepascal.org/How_To_Help_Developing_Lazarus#Git_or_Mercurial_mirrors I advise to use one of them and prepare your feature as a series of patches. This way, you do not have to wait for every patch, but for the whole series, which is much more tolerable. -- Alexander S.
