[hamza]

Hi
how can i update free pascal fpc to the newest one to be 2.6.4

Becouse I downloaded it but its very old
sudo apt-get install fpc
the version here is 2.6.0.

How to update??

It looks like 2.6.4 is available in Jessie.

Options:
1. Upgrade to Jessie.
2. You could try adding jessie sources to /etc/apt/sources.list and mix in whatever packages you need from Jessie (using APT-pinning is probably a good idea, so look that up if you want to try it -- /etc/apt/preferences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/somefilename)
3. Compile it from source (you might need other packages for it from Jessie anyway. I don't know.)

Good luck.
