Hello
currently the GNU Ada projects uses /opt/gnat as installation directory.
However it has been observed that this means on can only install one gnat
at a time.
We could - just like GNAT/Pro on Windows - install each GNAT into a separate
directory.
----
Option 1 (leave as is)
/opt/gnat
Option 2 (just the types):
/opt/gnat/gpl
/opt/gnat/gcc
Disadvantage: you can still only configure one system in /etc/profile.d and
/etc/ld.so.conf.d.
Option 3 (inc. version);
/opt/gnat/gpl/2005
/opt/gnat/gcc/3.4.5
/opt/gnat/gcc/4.0.2
Disadvantage: What should "rpm --upgrade" do? Probably not what half the
users would expect.
-----
Personally I think option 2 might be a good alternative. I am very unsure
about option 3 as it is totally against the rpm concept and might therefore
lead to all sorts of problems.
Martin
