I have no basic objections to this, but: - Is ASIS-for-GNAT in the gcc-gnat CVS tree? Without an ASIS-for-GNAT for the gcc-gnat, it wouldn't make much sense to put AdaBrowse there. - I didn't care about GNU coding guidelines or whatever when I developed AdaBrowse, so if it is to be put into the gcc-gnat CVS tree (and supposedly, into the gcc distribution), there may be some work to do in that respect. - The source distribution doesn't contain any Makefiles. That also would have to be added by somebody. (Building AdaBrowse is as simple as "gnatmake -O2 adabrowse -lasis", so I didn't see the need for a Makefile-based build procedure.) - AdaBrowse uses (and its source distribution contains) a couple of units that are *not* GPLed, but distributed under the more permissive Ada Community License (the one used by the Ada 95 Booch components). I have no idea if this would be OK with GNU policies. An option might perhaps be to use something akin to the modified GPL as used by the GNAT library for these units. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Wolf e-mail: t_wolf@angelfire.com
