Re: Ada OS

That's one problem that I was also hinting at!

If a person manages an Ada project they should insure that each version 
of the project works. And use documentation to info the user how to 
make it work and states any known problems. Instead of just finding an 
old project and dumping it into a CVS/SVN server.

"Simon Wright" should of archived the last Linux "c2ada" version 
instead of posting the zip file contents, because it is easy to alter a 
file and then post that altered file which can cause the project to 
become non-functional. 

Plus, just dumping a broken project without the original package cause 
the newbees to HATE Ada, because they can not use a project.  And all 
projects that are written in other languages should be only stored as 
archived and re-written in Ada before posting the project. Because any 
project that is written in standard Ada only language can be compiled 
and executed by all. But if more than two languages are use most people 
will just skip the project and move on.

        Now, for the c2Ada, you should ask "Simon Wright" why he did 
not insure that the c2ada project is full functional before he posted it. Or 
have full documentation of how to build it.
