 No, not a similar installer, but exactly the same graphical frontend to 
 fppkg. I just put up a link to this mailinglist.

 Hence the link I put up on the forum and the original email to the 
 lazarus list.

 Yes there's a repository, but it should stay with Lazarus imho. Besides 
 the idea of the person that created the repository was planning to 
 create his own package manager.

 Lack of resources is no proper reason to start a new repository. If you 
 have doubts then please make functional remarks. I have supplied patches 
 for several years now with success and I can also commit to the tree 
 myself. However I find it polite to ask on the list first before adding 
 new components.
