ghdl does not build-depend on gnat, only on gnat-4.4, so it will not block the transition. You may see the lack of a build-dependency on gnat as a policy violation but ghdl is not a library, does not produce a -dev package, and so cannot adversely affect other packages. Also, ghdl has 10 outstanding bugs, one of them serious (FTBFS with recent gcc while bootstrapping its own gcc back-end), so I'll let the maintainer deal with the package and not bother him further. If the maintainer is MIA, the QA people will remoe ghdl from Debian. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
