<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Congratulations to the team on the new
release.<br>

I confess that I share Chavoux Luyt's fears about updating,
especially since I use FPC/Lazarus on three different platforms
(and don't really know what I'm doing on two of them :-)<br>
<br>
(OK -- all of them.)<br>
<br>
Is there a wiki on Updating For Idiots? <br>
<br>
Thanks again for all the hard work!<br>

<div>Hi guys<br>

<div>I am still running lazarus v.1.0 RC, basically because I
installed a bunch of components (mostly 3D - GLScene, OpenGL,
etc) and I can no longer remember which ones came as part of
Lazarus and which ones I had to install myself (I am also a bit
afraid that updating lazarus and fpc might break something). Is
there any way to record all currently installed components
(Lazarus inbuilt and self-installed) and automatically
re-install them when updating Lazarus? Would it be difficult to
write a bash script (or .bat file on windows) that can do this
(if it does not already exist in Lazarus)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the same vein: any specific components to recommend for 3D
game development in Lazarus/free-pascal?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FYI I am running Lazarus on Debian stable (Mepis 11), so I
normally use .deb files for installing fpc and lazarus, (but not
for components).</div>

<div>Thanks</div>
