Don't count on this kind of bundling. Speaking for ACT, we would only bundle a library if: a) our customers actively needed a supported version b) we had the resources to provide full support I think it's still a success to generate some useful packages even if they don't get bundled by vendors. > * Please no extensive style discussions, a common style > will evolve during the first iterations of the > project. That seems a mistake to me, it is very difficult to impose a common standard later on. Why not at least adopt -gnaty as a starting point together with the general guidelines in AQ&S. I don't think -gnaty is someone better than some other possible standard, but consistency is important, and it is important to agree on something. > Any how i like to invite every body in the community > to spend some time in checking there repositories > for usefull components.

A reasonable invitation! Most certainly ACT spends quite a bit of time generating such components, and they get put in our GNAT library, which is available for anyone to look at and either use, or derive inspirations from :-) Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies
