I have attached modified (from original) indy package file in this post, which I have successfully used for full IDE build many times without need for rebuild the indy package.

I have incorporated your changes into Indy's SVN.

Today we break the "magic" barrier. There is more then 100 packages in the main repository. It was much harder then I initially thought...not so many Lazarus packages out there.

@ Getmem.

Wow, I just have try your OPM ---> impressive, works out of the box, no problem to install.

Huh, you have added uos project too -->  many thanks for that.
But the /lib folder is missing (needed for dynamically load libraries).  Was it wanted ?
The size of compressed /lib is +- 5 megas, with libraries for Linux 64/32, Windows 64/32, FreeBSD 64/32, MacOSX 32, RaspberryPi.

And to be complete, the folder /units is missing too. (needed for compilation of the demos otherwise --> annoying error message while compiling).

Many thanks.

IMHO, your OPM should be part of Lazarus, not only a lpk.

Huh, I use Lazarus V 1.8 R3.  Maybe I did not look enough when I run it first so I did --> Install new package ---> OPM.

And then I found it in "Package" menu, Online Package manager.
But maybe it was already there, before installing OPM, so sorry for the proposition.

No need to be sorry.

It should already have been there. No idea for which lazarus version you actually installed OPM.

afaik the 'standalone' package provided is for those that are using lazarus 1.6.x

Binaries are automatically removed by OPM to prevent infection, this is especially important under windows. Since uos is a well known package, I will add the libraries back soon and the unit folder too. Thanks for the feedback.

True. Previous version of Lazarus are not supported at all.

Ha, ok.

I was thinking, at beginning of uos,  to give the binary libraries in /uos/release only.

But then uos is no more "working out of the box"  ( = load the *.lpi from /uos/examples, compile and run it.)
PS: The libraries are in /uos/examples/lib (and not in /uos/lib as said in previous mail).

By the way, this is detail of a package, your OPM is very impressive and works perfectly "out of the box" (and it is what I prefer).

Many congrats and thanks.

Done. The whole directory structure should be there now. Please test. Thank you.

Hello  GetMem.

OK, tested: perfect.
Also the French translation of OPM: perfect.

Many thanks.

Congratulations!
How many of them are provided by the actual package author / maintainer and how many you have digged from around?
For the future of OPM repository it is important that each package maintainer is active.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

About 30%, but the number is increasing.  I receive a new package(or a package update) through the "Submit" button every 1-2 weeks or so. I estimate that 40% of all packages are abandoned or not maintained properly. I will try to contact the remaining 30% as time permits, but some of them prefer not to collaborate(like WTS) which is perfectly fine. We cannot force package authors to join in if they don't want to.

@GetMem:
thank you for the confirmation.

fwiw with regards to your latest conversation with Juha:
That is why i appreciate the possibility to be able to use your own 'repository'. Some packages are indeed unmaintained/abandoned or authors have little interest for OPM. Let alone adding private components that unfortunately cannot always be made public.

@GetMem
When you finish contacting authors, can you publish a list of the packages needing maintainers?
Maybe an idea similar to what Debian does. I just linked it below:

The possibility to add private repositories is just around the corner. I need a few more weeks though.

Thank you for the links. It's a good idea. Let's hope others will join in.
