Hi All. I have some information for those of you using Ada on this list (it appears there are quite a few, so, please drop those "all two people using.." jokes ;)).
I have found that the recently released -2008 version has some "incompatible bugs" with the -2007 version (NB: this is gnat-gpl, the ACT varian), which, in itself, is rather usial. However, this time these bugs directly affect one of the Ada libs in the tree - qtada, prohibitimg me from releasing a new version (the qtada-1.0.4 still requires precisely gnat-gpl-2007, hopefully qtada-1.1 will be less picky, but I haven't tested it yet). Considering also, that many of you might want to test the latest ADA-2005 features but may very well have some projects similarly sensitive to these bugs, I decided to SLOT gnat-gpl-2008 differently from the -2007 version (they were in the same SLOT, as they both use the same gcc backend version). Now, the -2008 version has SLOT="4.1-2008" while the -2007 one simply "4.1" (not that this precise value matters to anybody, its motsly internal portage affairs). I also issued revbumps, so that the updating happens automatically. Just check your "/etc/ada/primary_compilers" in case you want to update them.. I'll add the new version of qtada shortly. George
