The build scripts for gnat-4.1 are the same as for gcc-4.1 and gcj-4.1; their behaviour depends on the source package name as defined in the first changelog entry. We do not upload all three source packages whenever the upload number changes, because not all changes are relevant to all three packages. The latest uploads were: 4.1.1-17 gcc gcj 4.1.1-18 gcc 4.1.1-19 gcc gnat 4.1.1-20 gcc gcj 4.1.1-21 gcc 4.1.1-22 gnat The rest is details... what you see are really the differences between -19 and -22, and they include many things unrelated to Ada and which do not affect the binary packages at all. For example, we do not apply the updated Java, Objective-C or Objective-C++ patches when building gnat-4.1; nor do we apply the new m68k patches, since gnat-4.1 doesn't support m68k. svn-updates.dpatch deserves a separate explanation. You will note that that file contains the bulk of the changes. It regularly tracks the upstream gcc 4.1 branch and contains regression fixes only. The latest change to this file was made in -20, and is already in gcc-4.1 and gcj-4.1 in testing. With this new upload, gnat-4.1 merely catches up. No changes in this patch affect the Ada front-end or library. The files really affecting this new upload are those marked with * below. They contain the changes described in the changelog, and which you (I mean the release managers) approved.
