There's no hurry. I'm not really into one-time-fix-then-abandoned |
| 22 |
business but there's no reason to lastrite it in a hurry. First I'm |
| 23 |
trying to figure out: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
a) if there are people interested in forming an Ada project, or if Ada |
| 26 |
packages should be looking for dedicated maintainers, |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
b) which of the Ada packages are actually needed/used. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Would it be fine with you if we kept gnat-gcc and ghdl? (but lastrited |
| 31 |
dev-ada/*) |
