Here's info about the list you were asking about. (start of message) Following my question on the GNAT chat mailing list whether there is some interest on setting up a somewhat more organized effort to support GNAT specifically for Linux, quite a number of people have signaled their interest to contribute. We will probably set up our own source tree repository and publish patches and updated binary releases frequently to bridge the rather long time between ACT releases. For the moment I have set up a Web page http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/linux-ada/ where we can publish our patches, packets, and easy to install binary releases for Linux. Mike Feldman has offered that we can use his gnatlist@seas.gwu.edu mailing list to coordinate the effort, so I suggest that you all joint the list (see the web page for subscription details). One of the first things that I can contribute is a patch that adds UTF-8/Unicode support to GNAT. If you are interested in helping in any way towards making Linux the perfect Ada development environment, please have a look at the above Web page, join the gnatlist mailing list as described there and send us there your suggestions and what you can contribute.
