i've also some feedback posted as comment from my tutorial here :https://www.developpez.net/forums/d1848091/autres-langages/pascal/lazarus/tutoriel-installer-lazarus-paquets-fpcupdeluxe-online-package-manager-jerome-delauney/
I had only one problem: I had castle engine (which I like a lot) installed in version 6.4 and the transition to version 6.5 did not like it at all. OPM was experiencing unit conflicts (I'm surprised), displayed a partial install, and refused to uninstall the product. Again, I had to make repairs in the hand ... Well, all this is not very serious if you consider the comfort brought in all.
hat the application only keeps track of the software installed thanks to it, it's normal, okay. But that it does not take care of the already installed packets, it is a problem: the user expects that the problem is at least signaled with a message of the type: 'attention, this package already exists.' Then, the options are to choose: propose to uninstall it automatically, abandon the operation, run the risk of installing it anyway. The worst solution (in my opinion) is the one adopted: we try to install without worrying about anything assuming that the IDE is clean ...
Best regareds and thanks for your work
Very nicely done. Somebody should translate your tutorial to English, a lot of people would learn from it.
The current version of Castle engine in OPM is 6.4 I will switch to 6.5 soon and fix the remaining issues.
I'm not sure about this one. OPM will warn you if a package is already installed. Please see attached screenshot.
PS: You should file a bugreport about QT5/Cocoa related issues(Options in toolmenu, exception when IDE starts) so it can be fixed. Thank you.
The user have installed package manually in Lazarus/Components folder . So it is OPM check this folder to ?
I'm also think it will be better OPM install Package in a sub-folder in the Lazarus/Components folder instead in the hidden Lazarus's configuration folder (mainly under Windows). I say we can change it but most user don't do it.
Hi, I found this package today:https://github.com/afuriza/kyoukai_framework
OK. Thanks, I will install it if works fine. I will also update BGRABitmap, BGRAControls soon.
@wpI'm on hollidays for a few weeks with a small break on Saturday, I will try to add it then. Sorry for the inconvenience.
