How to upgrade to latest stable?

Hi,

What is the recommended procedure to update to the latest stable? Our project uses BDS2006. In 6.6.1-beta, I see there are directories labeled "delphi6" - "delphi10" and we have the components from the "delphi10" folder installed.

I see that 6.6.6-stable has the same folder structure.

I downloaded the 7.0.3-stable package today and I see that there is a delphi7, a delphi9, delphi2005, delphi2007, delphi2009 and so on, but nothing seemingly for bds 2006.

Is it possible to install 7.0.3-stable for bds 2006? If so, how?

Or, perhaps more importantly, what is the correct set of components to connect from a bds2006 client to a server running as 5.1.67-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (Ubuntu)?

Thank you.

Regards,
Rich

duzenbury,

i should be possible. I must admit i've minor BDS experiences in this domain. Thought you should compile the packages, and link the DCL files?

I'm not sure I follow you. I'm game to give compiling zeoslib a try, but I'd need a more detailed procedure to follow.

@duzenbury,

Copy/rename the folder Delphi2005 to Delphi2006 and use ZeosDbo.bdsgroup.
