Hello,
Hello David, it's good to see you on this list :)
I would like to know if it is currently possible to build gnat-4.8 using the needed package-version.orig.tar.gz and the Ada-France monotone packaging script ? Moreover, where I can download the gnat-4.8-version.orig.tar.gz to use for gnat-4.8 as it does not exist yet in Debian experimental. It seems there is a reference to a package called gnat-4.8-4.8-20130105-1, but I don't know where to find it. I build in a schrooted amd64 sid Debian, using some specific experimental packages
The current status is that I uploaded gnat-4.8 to experimental back in January but the Debian FTP masters have not yet evaluated the package for inclusion into the archive (they're too busy with the release of Wheezy). See http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html. If you don't really want to build gnat-4.8 but only use it, I can upload my binary packages somewhere for you if you want. If you really want to build, read on... Since the sources are in the binary package gcc-4.8-source, the gnat*.orig.tar.gz was empty, so I removed it entirely. gnat-4.6 and successors are so-called "native" packages for Debian, they only have a *.debian.tar.gz file and no *.orig.tar.gz. You can build from the packaging scripts in Monotone like so: * install the package gcc-4.8-source from experimental * do a checkout of the org.debian.gnat-4.8 branch from monotone * schroot -- dpkg-buildpackage That should be all, except that I have not kept org.debian.gnat-4.8 up to date with the latest changes in gcc-4.8-source. Hopefully, all the patches should still apply though. If not, please let me know and I'll try to help.
