Hi Bastian,

Lazarus can build packages against various toolkits, and if more than one is viable,
building those gives users some choice, as they all have various quirks.
The toolkit in the package name allows that differentiation.

C-evo-dh will build against all supported Lazarus toolkits, however,
gtk3 & fpgui builds crash on startup, and qt5 & qt6 have corrupted graphics.
gtk2 is the only Linux toolkit version that currently runs OK.

C-evo-dh has been intentionally packaged to allow co-installation of multiple front-ends.
I will certainly include others when they become viable.
I tested the Qt6 build today with Lazarus 3.0RC1, but have the same display issues as with Qt5.
gtk3 is being worked on upstream. That may become a possibility.

Cheers,
Peter
