Information on how to subscribe is on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/linux-ada/ The mailing list will be helpful in coordinating the various GNAT packaging efforts, to ensure that the various Debian and Red Hat packages all have a uniform and portable content. We should be particularly concerned that GNAT-produced binaries using shared libraries stay strictly portable across distributions, which will require some careful coordination. I hope that the scripts to build the Red Hat and Debian packages can be unified into a single common script, such that we have to maintain only one single "GNAT for Linux" package concept for all distributions, otherwise we might create a portability and support nightmare. I will keep the above web page up-to-date with any new information regarding availability of Linux-specific Ada software and ongoing projects. Markus -- Markus G.
