In fact, since OpenToken seems dead upstream, you might as well adopt it for your own and host it on a public revision control system. Ada-France's monotone server is yours if you want it; otherwise you can go to SourceForge, Gna!, Berlios, Tigris or Savannah. > > (I know you don't use Debian; this is not a requirement!) > > That's about to change; I'm finally fed up with Windows at home, so > I'm buying a new laptop with gNewSense (derived from Debian) on it. Congratulations. I hope you enjoy the experience. Out of curiosity, what is the difference between gNewSense and using only the main part of Debian (as opposed to contrib and non-free)? > And at work, the security police are making it impossible to get work > done on Windows, so we'll probably be switching to some Gnu/Linux > variant there as well; depends on what AdaCore will support. I think AdaCore are quite agnostic with respect to the particular distribution you use; what matters the most is some minimal version glibc (2.2 I think) and, to a lesser extent, kernel (2.4 I think). Indeed, they don't specify any distribution in their list of supported platforms. -- Ludovic Brenta.
