The attached archive contains various suggestions related to the Ada
binding. The last commit switches the Ada compiler from GCC-8 to -9.
Thanks for the patches.
I ignore if this compiler change breaks the plplot-ada ABI. If so,
libplplotada4.deb should be renamed to libplplotada5.deb, and CMake
should be told that plplotada_SOVERSION=5.
Could you please suggest a way to test for the ABI breakage ?
At any rate, I think that bumping the SOVERSION like this must be done
upstream, don't you think? I am not sure it is a good idea to have the
Debian packaging messing with this.
I have also another question regarding the package naming. I see that
you introduced, in commit 95d5fc9 [1], the change in naming of
libplplot-ada-dev to libplplotada1-dev. Is there any specific reason you
have chosen the number "1"? Would it not be better to have both packages
in sync, like libplplotadaN and libplplotadaN-dev?
Please upload to experimental so that the new package(s) pass the NEW
queue. Once all Ada packages are ready, we will reupload them to
unstable.
Okay.
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
