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
