Good to know. In 2009-01 you mentioned in a message that it needs more
testing. So what can I do to help the testing process?  I already have a
90% working fpmake.pp for fpGUI, which I believe is required for 'fppkg
archive' support or something.

You also mentioned hosting your own repository. How do I do this and how do
I tell fppkg where to look for this new repository.

Looking at this file, the syntax is pretty simple, but how do I tell fppkg
to look at my packages.xml file on my server?

fppkg was announced over a year ago. It was said that as soon as sufficient
testing was done, other packages would become available. I guess this
confirms that fppkg is a 'dead in the water' initiative - not even FPC is
using it. :-(  It sounded like such a nice idea though.


It is not dead, but it takes time to set it up.
