1 I was maintaining the gnat-gpl ebuild that build a gcc
2 compiler that includes the ada languages.
3
4 Upstream (Adacore) has declared to not provide anymore annual
5 releases of gnat-gpl but only to upgrade the fsf maintained gcc.
6
7 So I mean to add ada capability to sys-devel/gcc.
8
9 To build gcc with ada there is a need for a gcc/ada compiler, that
10 could be provided, to bootstrap, by the gnat-gpl ebuild.
11
12 Actually dev-lang/gnat-gpl is only amd64 and x86.
13
14 I'm suggesting to unmask ada for sys-devel/gcc for x86 and amd64:
15
16 sys-devel/gcc -ada on package.use.mask on x86 and amd64 arch profiles
17
18 No other changes seems necessary.
19
20 Anyone against it ?
