The scenario I'd like to prevent is wherein most architectures use gnat-4.9 to build all other Ada packages but one architecture decides to use gnat-4.8 instead, resulting in compilation problems and wasted effort on that architecture. Matthias said: > sure, the immediate problem is solved until the next port with a > version discrepancy. A "port with a version discrepancy" is precisely the scenario I want to prevent. I'm not ideologically opposed to making gnat architecture-dependent, it's just that gnat has now become architecture-independent thanks to your moving /usr/bin/gnatgcc out of it. I think making gnat architecture-dependent again would only help this bad scenario. The part about gnat build-depending on gnat-4.9 is OK for me, of course. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-68k-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
