FPC ecosystem: Upgrade version 2.6.4 => 3.0.0
This is the first major release of FreePascal in nearly four years.
There are a ton of new features, way more to list here. see:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.0
Several new unit ports were added, some were contracted. Most of
those were absorbed into the main FPC packages, but two units are
no longer supported: sndfile and matroshka.
All 99 remaining ports (including Lazarus ports) were build tested
on FreeBSD i386 and amd64 Release 10.2
- editors/lazarus update to 1.4.2
- Add USE_FPC_RUN to bsd.fpc.mk. It add fpc units like run dependencies.
Otherwise
fpc units only are added like build dependencies (less dependencies registered
when they are installed with pkg).
- Remove GTK1 obsolete dependencies
- Bump all ports with dependencies of fpc-* units
- Bump all ports with dependencies of lazarus ports
- Clean up
Assign maintainership of FPC ports to new FPC ports team
The new team currently consists of the previous maintainer (acm@) and
myself (marino@).
