After the Paris meeting last year between ACT and  ALT I was also
optimistic that bits of what we discussed could be achieved. But what
happened was, that all the ALT people attending the meeting except me
disappeared, at least nobody started any significant activity to address one
of the topics discussed at the meeting. Building and maintaining the RPMs
eats up a lot of the spare time that I personally can spend on that, so to
move ALT forward it simply needs people to take care of projects. For
some time ALT was simply me.

There was a discussion in Paris about a public GNAT CVS operated by the
ALT group for the purpose of a more open development of GNAT, at least
on Linux. But for sure - at least for me - it was quite clear that
integrating
GNAT into the gcc 3.0 tree is something that should be done by ACT.

Only since I had some delay with the 3.13 RPMs and asked on GNATLIST
for help, a few people offered there help for the packaging stuff. That's
fine
and I hope that we'll move this forward to a system where Ada  programmers
can use some kind of wizards to produce their own ALT compliant RPMs.
