As far as building the full= ADA development platform, I'd be happy to work on it if there's interest. OpenCSW is primarily a packaging effort, so any time someone files a reques= t[1], we look into it and create the package, if at all possible. We haven'= t had any requests for Ada libraries so far. There's a couple of possibili= ties why that might be the case: 1. there are no people who work with Ada on Solaris 2. people who work with Ada on Solaris don't use OpenCSW packages 3. people who work with Ada on Solaris do use OpenCSW packages, but are shy I'd like to find out, which of these is most likely to be true. If 3 is tru= e (certainly my favorite), OpenCSW would take feedback from users and impro= ve the packages. If 1 is true, then we could drop gnat packages altogether.= If 2 is true, I'd like to find out how/where do they get the binaries, and= if there's a chance OpenCSW could provide better packages.
