As you probably noticed, this is a new upstream version from the stable branch, which makes minor adjustments to compile in Ada 2005 mode (as opposed to Ada 95). This mode is the new default with gnat-4.3. I investigated the diffstat further and found that: - the new documentation accounts for 59312 insertions (it did not exist in 1.6.1). - Many insertions/deletions were CVS "$Id:", "Last Modified On:" and "Revision:" lines; - Most of the actual changes consisted in adding the keyword "constant" to variable declarations. The compiler is happy with these changes, as it would previously warn that these variables were never changed and should be declared constant. The reason why the package was removed from testing was #471619, which this upload fixes. There are no reverse-dependencies in Debian, and even if there were, the soname change takes care of that. Removing gnade from Debian would be a disservice to users, as this is the only database interface for Ada in Debian. So, what should I do to provide gnade in Lenny? Or is my explanation enough for you to reconsider? -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
