Description Will B 2018-03-19 18:26:28 CET
Can you please update Lazarus and fpc?  The versions available through Mageia are Lazarus 1.2.4-6 and fpc-2.6.4-14.  The current versions are Lazarus 1.8.2 and fpc 3.0.4.

Thanks! :-)

kekePower pushed fpc-3.0.4-1.mga7 and lazarus-1.8.2-1.mga7 to cauldron, he might be willing to backport them for Mageia 6 (or push them as updates, if that is allowed https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy#Version_Policy )

They certainly don't meet the requirements to be updates.

Component: RPM Packages => Backports

Sorry that this request was never met.

Unfortunately, Mageia 6 is no longer supported. It might still get fixed to ensure a good upgrade path with mageiaapplet (which is currently disabled because it doesn't work well), but it will certainly not have more backports.

Note that Mageia 7 has lazarus-1.8.4-3.mga7 and fpc-3.0.4-6.mga7

If you still need to upgrade to Mageia 7: a safe way would be to use a netinstall ISO http://doc.mageia.org/netinstall/7/en/content/index.html and then select to upgrade in the "Install or Upgrade" step.
