Thank you very much for your work on Qt5Ada bindings which for my
project and choosing Ada over other languages is kind of deal breaker.
;)

I'm a bit sad seeing there are *three* different QtAda projects instead
of merging the efforts into one nicely developed/maintained community
project.

I'll try to build from the source and prepare package to be hopefully
included in official Debian release, but wonder whether you considered
to create more transparent Qt55Ada project by using some public repo,
providing info how to help/contribute, have issue tracker etc.?


Sincerely,
Gour

Which three projects do you mean?
I'm new to Ada, and try to use the Qt bindings (preferably Qt5).

Found http://qtada.com (for Qt4.6)??
Then, http://users1.jabry.com is dead???
and the third one??

Is QtAda unmaintained meanwhile? Are these bindings stable and supported? 

Thanks in advance.

His projects uses a proprietary layer. It is not completely open source.

Leonid's?  Which one?  He uses TCL/TK but AFAIK that is open source.  Now, problem with his projects is the lack of documentation.  Pity because it seriouly hampers usage of his work.  To practical efects an undocumented featurte doesn't exist.  Sigh.

His own proprietary.

He doesn't respond to e-mails and on public forums doesn't seem to understand communications, I am assuming a language barrier.

Basically, even if you manage to get things working (I know only one person who has), you will find at the core a proprietary DLL/so (included for a few platforms in compiled form) is needed that are C wrappers around the C++ constructs. He does not distribute its source and licensing is a mess in general between public statements and what are found in various files.

Actually he is a native Russain speaker and his Englih seems to be quite poor.   But I assume he is basically badly organized.  I also have heard
his day job is unrelated to computers and perhaps that is the reason he doesn't understand some issues.

I have been temped to use his implementation since I don't like the, now apparently dead, contorted implementation in qtada.com  but I failed to make it work.
