The package gnat-4.1 (=4.1.0-1) has been in unstable for 5 days and,
since it didn't have any release-critical bugs, reached Debian
Etch/testing today. It contains one preliminary patch by yours truly,
but nothing yet related to Ada.  It is now easier for Debian Etch
users to experiment with gnat-4.1; just do:

$ apt-get install gnat-4.1

(beware: it conflicts with gnat, which is still the officially
supported
Ada compiler).

The GCC maintainer for Debian was waiting for GCC 4.1 to be in Etch
before accepting my Ada-related patches into it.  I already have a few
patches ready, namely:

- support symbolic tracebacks
- look for project files in /usr/share/ada/adainclude by default
- link the GNAT tools dynamically against libgnat
- README.gnat

And I'm working on:

- build libgnatvsn and link the GNAT tools dynamically against it

The next step will be:

- build libgnatprj and link the GNAT tools dynamically against it

I'll send these patches to debian-gcc at lists .debian dot org this
weekend.

These patches will most probably appear in 4.1.0-2 in the next few
days.  If you're interested, you can look at the Debian build scripts
and patches for GCC here:
