I use Lazarus and FPC for several months. I would like to update
Lazarus and FPC source to new versions. How can I run automatic
updates? Or: Is there some command to start the update?
OS UBUNTU.

Hoping that Ubuntu package maintainer will push the latest .deb to the
official repository, a `# apt-get update` should do. Otherwise, get
the new .deb(s) yourself from Downloads link on the left.

You should definitely try the new 1.4RC3.

There is a good chance that Lazarus to be included in ubuntu-make. I
have contacted the developer and he is willing but needs a
contributor.
Someone who knows packaging should take the job. A lot of us will be
eternal grateful!

If i had time i have  just done it but i do not and that was the
reason posting here. It is not a trivial task because the packages
exists in Lazarus download page put them are conflicting with the fpc
from Ubuntu main repository and i can not solve that with my skils.
