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. |

Anyone against it ? |
