The web distance is not 0. Isn't 1? I.e. any Linux GNAT > maintainer is known to somebody in c.l.a? Well, I don't exactly know the people who maintain GCC ? including Gnat ? in Fedora, but I know where I can find their names and an email address that should reach them. You may count that as distance 1 if you like. I don't know if the same people also maintain GCC in RHEL or if someone else does that, so that's at least distance 2 unless someone else here in c.l.a is more involved in RHEL than I am. Then there are a plethora of other Gnu/Linux distributions that may include all of the GCC front ends or only some of them. Does Mandriva include Gnat? Does Slackware? Arch? I have no idea. If they include it, I'd be surprised if anyone here knows who the maintainers are. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD
