Are you the Vadim Gudunko who is one of the authors of PolyORB? Thank you very much for your insight. Is there a particular reason why you mailed me privately rather than posting to comp.lang.ada? May I send your post myself? > Current development version of PolyORB require at least GCC 3.4.1. May > be it will be work with GCC 4.0.2. :( This is bad news, but it seems that PolyORB 1.2r can be compiled with GNAT Pro 3.16a1, so perhaps 3.15p may be able to compile it as well, with some patching. I don't think that a package maintainer would be very interested in following the CVS HEAD of PolyORB, unless they were a PolyORB developer themselves. > The DSA personality (replacement of GLADE) may work with GCC 4.0.2 if > someone integrate several related patches from GCC HEAD.

This sounds like a packager's nightmare. Personally, I have rather negative views on the way AdaCore does configuration management. They seem to go out of their way to make packager's jobs more difficult. Note that the reason why I didn't package PolyORB is that it is a generic middleware; I felt that I had to provide either all personalities, or none at all. Providing no personality was easier :) Also, I don't use it myself, and I would have done a lousy job of supporting it for Debian users. -- Ludovic Brenta.
