Hi Darius,

1) package management is currently being developed under FPC (see
fppkg and fpmkunit and http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPMake). It will
consist of a "repository" with downloadable packages for FPC. This
could be extended easily in the near future for Lazarus. But it will
be a long way still.
I understand. Perl's package management system wasn't built overnight
either.
2) Lazarus only supports static packages. So installing a package
would always require to recompile Lazarus. I have no idea what the
progress on this topic is. Perhaps the wiki has something on it, or
someone from core can comment.
If that is the way that it is written so far then I accept what you say.
When I was at an OpenSource conference recently everybody was bragging
how they got "their" perl module into cpan (the perl library
repository). Now cpan is really huge - and some of the code quality on
it is really high.
I've only mentioned this, because I've seen it elsewhere and know how
powerful it can be. Kindof blows Torry out of the water so to speak.
There is enough to get on with at the moment so it doesn't really
present any problem. It's more of a wish-list thing.
Actually, package-management can be implemented via XML-RPC.. :-)
That is what made me think of it I guess...
Regards
David
