Subject: gnat-gpl-2008 has been SLOTted differently from -2008
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:13:14 +0200
Hi All.

I have some information for those of you using Ada on this list (it appears 
there are quite a few, so, please drop those "all two people using.." 
jokes ;)).

I have found that the recently released -2008 version has some "incompatible 
bugs" with the -2007 version (NB: this is gnat-gpl, the ACT varian), which, 
in itself, is rather usial. However, this time these bugs directly affect one 
of the Ada libs in the tree - qtada, prohibitimg me from releasing a new 
version (the qtada-1.0.4 still requires precisely gnat-gpl-2007, hopefully 
qtada-1.1 will be less picky, but I haven't tested it yet).

Considering also, that many of you might want to test the latest ADA-2005 
features but may very well have some projects similarly sensitive to these 
bugs, I decided to SLOT gnat-gpl-2008 differently from the -2007 version 
(they were in the same SLOT, as they both use the same gcc backend version). 
Now, the -2008 version has SLOT="4.1-2008" while the -2007 one simply "4.1" 
(not that this precise value matters to anybody, its motsly internal portage 
affairs). I also issued revbumps, so that the updating happens automatically. 
Just check your "/etc/ada/primary_compilers" in case you want to update 
them.. 

I'll add the new version of qtada shortly.

George
