Hi.
Synapse is great network lib, but no update longtime.
I want to add Synapse to Lazarus-CCR. I have some patches.
Thanks .

This is a very good ideea. Also make sure to include the patch made by
ludob regarding https over proxy on linux:

You should  first contact Lukas Gebauer and let him know about your
intentions.

Hi mdalacu.
I think that his consent is unnecessary in license.
And I would like to make it only for FPC/Lazarus(without Delphi).

Do you have SVN write access to the Lazarus CCR? Please make sure to
add this patch that I am attaching. It has been waiting since 1 month
to be applied =(

I think I will also add LNet to the Lazarus-CCR.

Hi felipemdc.

> Do you have SVN write access to the Lazarus CCR?
No.

One idea is simply starting a new project in source forge or Google
code. It is free in both sites, and both offer SVN.

Please patch ssfpc.inc using instructions in this thread:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,12333.15.html , from
posts 18 & 22.
Without this patch you can't download anything through proxy and https
on linux.

@mdalacu
Send your Google Account email address by PM.
I am going to add you to a project administrator.

Nice initiative, guys; you might want to add an external link to the
wiki page
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Synapse
so more people will know about it and perhaps contribute...

I'd also suggest (if you haven't done so) sending a message to the
synapse mailing list informing Lukas Gebauer and everybody else that
you're doing this. This might help getting the changes in the google
code branch merged back into synapse as fast as possible...

Thanks,
BigChimp

@BigChimp
Thanks. But my English is poor, so I need your helps.

@Synapse fans
Please send your Google account email address by PM to become a
project administrator. 
It is the easy work which fixs a bug for Lazarus.

BigChimp · 2012-02-21 08:41

Ok, I'll get back to you later via private message...

@malcome, looking at your commit messages in google code, your English
is fine

I updated the synapse wiki page for you.

You might send something like this to the Synapse mailing list:

QuoteDear all,

I'm involved in programming network applications with Synapse in
FPC/Lazarus.

Thanks for a great library. However, it seems some patches do not end
up very quickly in the development svn repository.

In order to more quickly test and implement improvements, with a focus
on FPC/Lazarus (not Delphi), I've started up a fork at
http://code.google.com/p/synapse4lazarus/

See here: http://lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,16032.0.html
for a discussion on this on the Lazarus forum.
Note that I would love to get these improvements back into official
Synapse; please contact me via the Google code page or Lazarus forum
whenever you want.

Thanks,
malcome

I'd like to try it out, do the demo projects compile ok?
