The redirect has been added.

Can the search form also be changed to use "https://; instead of "http://;
as its action?

Currently it is:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?action=search;
method="get">

I don't know how it works for Open Source world, but for the commercial
world wild-card certificates (*.freepascal.org) are more expensive, than a
single name certificate (www.freepascal.org)

[Dmitry Boyarintsev via fpc-pascal]

You probably want to give a bit more context here.

1. The error seems to be visible only in Safari (iOS or macOS).
I did test Chrome, it fails to open "https://freepascal.org; and
automagically reopens "www.freepascal.org". Thus the certificate error is
not observed.
Chrome also suggested that request to "https://freepascal.org; fai
(The similar behavior is seen on Edge, which is Chrome anyway)

2. I'd think it would be proper for the server of "freepascal.org" to
response with a redirect to "www.freeepascal.org"

3. Even "www.freepascal.org" has a problem. The browser doesn't seem to
like that the "search" form action is leading to insecure "
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?action=search; and thus a
warning sign is shown

[fpc-pascal] Explicit Interface implementation and inheritance

[Dmitry Boyarintsev via fpc-pascal]

Hello,

Why is interface implementation not inherited, if explicit implementation
is used.

Example.

Here are interfaces:
  IAAA = interface
procedure MethodA;
  end;
  IBBB = interface(IAAA)
procedure MethodB;
  end;

Interface IBBB inherits from IAAA

Here's an implicit interface implementation:

  TObjA = class(TInterfacedObject, IAAA)
procedure MethodA;
  end;

  TObjB = class(TObjA, IBBB)
procedure MethodB;
  end;

Class TObjB inherits from TObjA. Where TObjA implements IAAA.
And so TObjB only needs to implement MethodB, and MethodA is implicitly
mapped for the interface method.

Here's an explicit interface implementation:

  TImpA = class(TInterfacedObject, IAAA)
  public
procedure CallOfA; virtual;
procedure IAAA.MethodA = CAllOfA;
  end;

  // compiler error. No matching implementation for interface method
"MethodA"; found
  TImpB = class(TImpA, IBBB)
  public
procedure CallOfB;
procedure IBBB.MethodB = CallOfB;
  end;

Why is it happening? TImpB inherites from TImpA. In TImpA the MethodA is
implemented by "CallOfA".

Is it a requirement to map all the methods of implemented interfaces? (no
matter if they were implemented in parent classes).

thanks,
Dmitry

the current:
svn co https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/$FPCTAG/ $FPCVER
turns into:
svn co https://github.com/fpc/FPCSource/tags/$FPCTAG/$FPCVER

If you open https://github.com/fpc/ you can find all the mirrors are there.
And this is the official Github mirror, so all the latest changes should be
reflected there pretty quickly.

No. This is not possible with Git.
You either have to deal with the entire project structure or you could use
an SVN mirror (i.e. github based)

It's not switching brands, it's switching the type of the car.
from a passenger i.e. to a bus.
It's still a car, but the concept is a little different.

The human psychology. There were no particular problems for anyone to use
SVN.
It worked fine. So for the people it doesn't seem like an obvious reason
for the change.
The change is not recognized by the brain as a needed change, as a cure of
some sort.
Instead it's recognized as an unnecessary burden.
(unlike switching from CVS to SVN)

The same is happening with kids at school. They don't recognize the new
knowledge as something useful.
Instead they still treat the school as a burden.
---
In the software we for some reason prefer to stick to "backwards
compatibility"
No matter how much it affects a project. (it's considered that retaining
backwards compatibility is a positive effect).
However the same concept doesn't apply to the infrastructure for some
reason.

Dmitry

it might depend on the use of the version control.
Maybe there's a certain automation involved behind the scenes.
If it used to be configured for SVN then the only allowed kind of change is
the URL address.

why not to use Github mirror?
