Since Robert is in a position to know, this seems a silly question. I'll go out on a limb and guess that Florian is complaining that the current public binary release of GNAT (3.13p) is 18 months behind the GCC CVS tree. That is true. But I believe Robert was talking about keeping the GCC CVS tree in sync with the internal GNAT development tree (currently heading for a 3.15 release). I'm actually surprised that ACT is doing that, but it should certainly satisfy anyone who wants access to the "cutting edge" GNAT. I hope ACT continues to make binary releases, at least for Windows and Solaris, even if they are "way behind". The various Linux maintainers could start making binary releases for their systems. Even if I want the "latest" GNAT from the CVS tree, it helps tremendously to have a known good binary to install first, since that is required to compile the CVS release. -- -- Stephe
