Package: src:libxmlada
Followup-For: Bug #927943
The attached patch builds libxmlada/18-3 against unicode-data/12.1.0.
According to a diff of generated sources, no existing symbol is
changed or removed, so it should be safe to keep the same SO version
for the binary library package.
I hope that no new ALI version is necessary for the -dev package. Each
recursive reverse dependency would then require trivial but manual
changes.
gpr *
dh-ada-library
templates-parser *
gnat-gps
gnatcoll *
gnatcoll-bindings *
gnatcoll-db *
asis *
aws *
adacontrol
adabrowse
log4ada *
Worst, the libraries (with a star) would require a passage through
NEW. Such a transition is impossible so far in the freeze, so gpr
FTBFS in testing. Summary: buster would not support the Ada language.
I see no better option than uploading the fix with the same ALI,
and hope that all goes well.

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3A.*%5C.ad%5Bbs%5D+with%5C+Unicode%5C.Names%5C.&page=3
seems to show that the generated packages are only directly referenced
from libxmlada itself.
* The diff_alis.py script (once posted in debian-ada) says that no
existing .ali checksum is modified between libxmlada/18-2 and 18-3
(I fail to understand why most unicode-names-*.ads have no .ali file
at all, but it is quite convenient right now).
* If some reverse dependencies FTBFS and must be removed, what do we
loose compared to the current situation?
Of course, any better idea is welcome.
