Hi All. |
2 |
|
3 |
I have some information for those of you using Ada on this list (it appears |
4 |
there are quite a few, so, please drop those "all two people using.." |
5 |
jokes ;)). |
6 |
|
7 |
I have found that the recently released -2008 version has some "incompatible |
8 |
bugs" with the -2007 version (NB: this is gnat-gpl, the ACT varian), which, |
9 |
in itself, is rather usial. However, this time these bugs directly affect one |
10 |
of the Ada libs in the tree - qtada, prohibitimg me from releasing a new |
11 |
version (the qtada-1.0.4 still requires precisely gnat-gpl-2007, hopefully |
12 |
qtada-1.1 will be less picky, but I haven't tested it yet). |
13 |
|
14 |
Considering also, that many of you might want to test the latest ADA-2005 |
15 |
features but may very well have some projects similarly sensitive to these |
16 |
bugs, I decided to SLOT gnat-gpl-2008 differently from the -2007 version |
17 |
(they were in the same SLOT, as they both use the same gcc backend version). |
18 |
Now, the -2008 version has SLOT="4.1-2008" while the -2007 one simply "4.1" |
19 |
(not that this precise value matters to anybody, its motsly internal portage |
20 |
affairs). I also issued revbumps, so that the updating happens automatically. |
21 |
Just check your "/etc/ada/primary_compilers" in case you want to update |
22 |
them.. |
23 |
|
24 |
I'll add the new version of qtada shortly. |
