Missing Pascal compiler in the Jan 2025 Community package VMDK

[robertb]

Hello,

It seems that the Pascal compiler has been removed from the Jan 2025 Community package. It was available in the 2024 Community package, as shown through the Show License commands:

2025:
$ sh lice pascal
Active licenses on node X86923:
%SHOW-I-NOLICMATCH, no licenses match search criteria

2024:
$ sh licen pascal
Active licenses on node V922:
------- Product ID -------- ---- Rating ----- -- Version --
Product Producer Units PCL Activ Version Release Termination
PASCAL VSI 6 0 1 0.0 (none) 30-APR-2025

Anyway to get the Pascal compiler back?

Thank you.

Yes, it is missing

Just find out. No license, no distro. Was just starting to port some pascal code over and can't compile it.

Best, Gorazd

We are aware of the issue and are working on it at this very moment.

Great

I'm currently using workaround with dual boot. So I boot 2024 version with pascal (and without cobol) and compile pascal files. With 2025 version I then compile my cobol files and link.

Later I'll try cluster of two VMs if my eth adapter will allow it.

Best, Gorazd
