The GNU Ada: Homepage online.

From: Martin Krischik on 18 Dec 2005 13:55 Hello, I also got the homepage online today. The first page added is about creating RPM packages. As I said: this project can only be a success if as many maintainers join in to provide as many platforms as possible. There where lots of discussion about the GNAT/GPL edition and that we need GMGPL editions as well. And that a comunity effort might help here. Now here we are. And while the compile takes several hours typing "rpmbuild -ba" won't take more then a few seconds. So we should at least get a good collection of rpm based packages out of the door.

It would be nice if these "community" builds of GNAT showed up as the default in Fedora, Red Hat, Mandriva and SuSE. Of course, this is already the case in Debian and FreeBSD :) I'm starting to work on the transition from gnat to GCC 4.1 now. I will give an update on this transition during the FOSDEM in late February. -- Ludovic Brenta.

First we need to see if the packages are ok - nobody apart from me tested them. Then we need the libraries as well. > Of course, this is already the case in Debian and FreeBSD :) Yes, real comunity distribution. It might be easier to add something there then in the comertial distribution. > I'm starting to work on the transition from gnat to GCC 4.1 now.

Perhaps you would like to share the scripts you use? Martin -- mailto://krischik(a)users.sourceforge.net Ada programming at: http://ada.krischik.com

Perhaps in a chrooted environment. This could also help with: > BTW: There is a 2nd part to the project: A repository of script files to > create the packages.

Perhaps you would like to share the scripts you use? They are already shared, as is policy with Debian. Anyone can get them from [1]. Look for the latest .diff.gz, it is a diff against the pristine upstream tarball (which, incidentally, is in the ..orig.tar.gz). [1] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnat/ -- Ludovic Brenta.
