Since you do not provide the exact version numbers, I can't tell for sure. I can however tell from the package names that these versions are fairly recent (less than 5 months old). You'll have to compare with the Debian packages. You could try this long URL that I use as my dashboard to coordinate work: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=3Dlbrenta+ken@codelabs.ch+reet@cod= elabs.ch+stephen_leake@stephe-leake.org+nicolas.boulenguez@free.fr+xavier.g= rave@ipno.in2p3.fr&comaint=3Dyes This URL will also give you a list of Ada packages that you do not yet have on your system. > Q2. > Have used GCC from the codeblocks IDE for C for the last two years. > I obtained that from the build-essentials package via Ubuntu's > Synaptic. > I recently learned that there is a GCC that also supports Ada. > Is that the same GCC that I have been using.
