And thank you for devoting so much time and effort packaging for Debian and cavassing opinions on the way forward. I think in general people are taking a wide view on what would be good for Ada, GNAT and the community. The narrow selfish arguments are mainly used by the few who are directly affected. Perhaps by the end of the year, I'll have an amd64 system to transition to, and try to help in building a set of compilers and libraries to match. In the mean time, I have to focus on building my business (with is not software development, let alone building tools). -- Adrian
