<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Graeme,<br><br></div>Thanks for the feedback! "Delphinus" is indeed an interesting project, let's hope somebody will have the time and energy to convert it to Lazarus. Personally I prefer a central repository, so each package can be checked individually. I'm not a control freak, I just want to make sure that each package in the repository can be compiled/installed.<br><br></div>Balázs<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 3:35 PM, Graeme Geldenhuys via Lazarus <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org" target="_blank">lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 2016-10-04 13:11, Balázs Székely via Lazarus wrote:<br>

</span>Not to deter from all your efforts, but I think there is already a<br>
brilliant solution called "Delphinus". It is an open-source replacement<br>
to the ridiculous one included with newer Delphi versions as standard.<br>
<br>
All that would be required is to port that code to work with Lazarus IDE<br>
(instead of Delphi IDE - or possible work with both IDE's).<br>
<br>
So, what's the benefit of Delphinus:<br>
* there is _no_ central repository!<br>
* You can publish new project without notifying the Delphinus<br>
author<br>
* It hooks into the Github API, so everything is automated.<br>
* You can have a console app or IDE add-on to install<br>
packages.<br>
<br>
See the second link for how simple it is to publish a new project.<br>
