Hi
I'm wanting to start thinking about revamping Gentoo's Ada support. So I'm
wondering what the user', if any, would want.
I personally want to bring it up to date and have an ada USE flag which can
be used from system install such that Ada is a first class citizen rather
than the ugly ginger step-child it currently is.
This means the whole current way of doing things will need to change. I've
just never liked the way distributions have a whole other set of compilers
just for Ada, so there ends up being two tool chains, so two c compilers,
two c++ compilers, one Ada compiler.
What do people want?
Luke

Hi Luke,
I've been trying to update Ada support for ArchLinux for much the same reasons.
Here are the Ada packages/tools I've been using ...
- ada-web-server
- ahven
- asis
- florist
- gnat-gps
- gnat_util
- gprbuild
- gtkada
- polyorb
- xmlada
I expect QtAda might also be popular.
Good luck with your Gentoo efforts.
Cheers.

Yeah, I've already done this in my free-ada scripts. The gnat_util and
other AdaCore tools are the worst and most inconsistent to build.
Cheers.
