GNAT 3.13p build for Solaris 8_x86

[almroth@attglobal.net (Andreas Almroth)]

Hi all,

I apologise, for this semi-related topic to the language itself.

I have been using GNAT 3.12p on my laptop with Solaris 8 now for a
while, and  I have been wondering about why there is no 3.13p for
Solaris 8_x86 around?

OK, if you have the time, you could compile 3.13p from 3.12p level,
which is exactly what I have done now... Everything seems to work so
far... It is not verified/certified in any way, but it works for me...

Having looked at how the binary distribution for 3.12p works, I'm now
wondering, if I now have it working on my system, why couldn't I
package a 3.13p binary distribution?

Well, it leads to three major questions of my concern;
1. Will I get in trouble doing so? It is after all FSF copyrighted, so
I should be able to do so, or? What are the legal implications?
2. I couldn't find out who made the 3.12p package available, so I now
wondering what are the procedures/tools to use in order to package
3.13p in the same manner as 3.12p?
3. If, I at all succeed in creating a package, who should I contact
for actually making it available?

I know this may seem as a minor thing, but wouldn't be nice to have a
binary distribution of 3.13p on Solaris 8_x86 available for public?
I'm sure there is one for contract customers...

Well, if you have a split second, I would appreciate if you enlighten
me on this topic...

Regards,
Andreas
