Well, still easier would be to just configure Lazarus to use the new FPC 
compiler and its source directory straight from the svn tree.
Making .rpm package feels little useless because all the needed files are 
already in my computer and then I would install the package into this same 
computer.

An extra complication is that this is not debian/ubuntu/fedora/redhat but this 
is OpenSuse. Fedora packages would most likely work but I can't be sure.

Anyway, it is not a big problem. I will look at the FPC devel version later.
I believe I could install the latest FPC with some effort but Lazarus compiles 
fine with the older ones.

OpenSuse advertised their build servers which should make it easier to build 
and deliver packages for every Suse user. I don't know how it works but 
someone could put there also the devel versions of FPC and Lazarus. Release 
versions are available already.
