Description Merlijn Wajer 2012-01-01 16:53:02 UTC
dev-lang/fpc 2.6.0 is released. It would be nice to have the new version in Portage. ( http://freepascal.org/ )

Reproducible: Always

I should mention that there is also a new ARM version of the compiler. It would be nice to have architecture one added as well.

FPC 2.6.0 ebuild; modified 2.4.4 with ARM support.

I modified FPC 2.4.4 ebuild. Just changing the versions wasn't enough since the FPC team packed their release sightly different. See:

   tar -xf ${P}.${FPC_ARCH}-linux/binary.${FPC_ARCH}-linux.tar || die "Unpacking binary.${FPC_ARCH}-linux.tar failed!"

I've confirmed that it works on amd64 and arm (Sheevaplug, softfloat). I do not own a powerpc/sparc machine so I cannot test these arches. I assume x86 will just work, but if required I could verify this.

It is noteworthy that FPC also ships/supports powerpc64 platform as of 2.6.0, but I didn't really know what to do with this.

For now I have also removed(commented) the doc useflag. It should be re-added once radhermit has updated his fpctoc.htx.bz2. I have not tested the ide useflag, either.

It is obvious this ebuild is not fit for inclusion yet, but I'd like some feedback.

Please do not mix several issues in one bug. For keywording, please file a separate bug.
Comment 4 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2012-01-03 06:13:33 UTC
Added to CVS and keyworded for ~arm. Also, all required support should be there for ppc64, but I currently don't have access to any hardware for testing so it's not keyworded for ppc64 yet.
