I'll try to file the bug in both places. IMHO gnuada.sourceforge.net would be the logical place for tracking bugs in community supported Ada software, but since nobody has reported anything there yet, one can hardly expect anyone looking there for solutions. > The community will be better served by one central > bug database than by several disjoint ones. I completely agree. I think the situation is a bit confused presently because of the transition between p-releases and gcc gnat: For gcc gnat the upstream source for the debian releases would come from http://gcc.gnu.org/ and their BTS would be the first to report bugs to. Debian BTS would either mostly refer to bugs in the gcc BTS or to packaging defects. (A propos packaging defects: libgtkada2-dev in Sarge absolutely insists on getting 3.15p installed with it, despite the fact that gnat-3.4 also "provides gnat". Superficially, from the dependencies listing, I cannot understand why that is so and I also wonder wether this is intended (that gtkada can only be used with 3.15p at debian). I think the situation wrt to where to report bugs will become more clearly defined when the transition to gccada has been done. > I specifically encourage anyone to submit bugs there, even if they > do not use Debian.

Yes, I already perceived that Debian is the only open platform where I'd say that Gnat is actually supported in sense. > The only reason why I started using the Debian BTS back in 2003 was > because no other public database existed at that time.
