No. See #251
Yes, it would be easier but the disadvantage is that GetIt isn't a very dynamic system. For example, I wouldn't be able to push new releases and have them made available through GetIt immediately (or even after a short time). The release schedule is purely controlled by Embarcadero. Also, Embarcadero has absolutely no interest in maintaining support for older versions of Delphi, so it would only be the latest version of Delphi that got updates through GetIt. Older versions of Delphi would be stuck with the last version that was available when the new version of Delphi was released. If you have a 10.x version of Delphi installed you can see that the GetIt content for it isn't updated anymore. |

Is this library available for installation through GetIt Package Manager? I searched and didn't find it. I tried Delphi 10.4.2 and 11.3.
I was wondering if this may be easier to handle than downloading, building, and installing manually. For example, I tried "Abbrevia" to see how this works.
The most interesting thing is that I can add this library as a required dependency in project options. Though this has its disadvantages too as new library releases are not updated between Delphi versions sometimes.
