This is a bug that is impacting ppc64el bootstrap also.
My recomendantion is to keep just a build-depend on gnat, unless you have
strict
dependency of version 4.6, which is not the case in 90% of the packages that
depends on version 4.6
Your recommendation violates the Debian policy for Ada, section 4,
second rule.
That is right, sorry about it. Can you help me to understand how to proceed
then?
I will transition pcscada and all my other Ada packages to gnat-4.9 soon
(when I finally find some time).
I understand that there are two cases here, for general packages that depends
on gnat.
a) The package that depends on gnat version 4.6 specifically.
b) A package that depend on gnat, but not necessarily from version 4.6, it can
build and run on later gnat version, as 4.9.
Based on these two cases, what is the case for pcscada?
I understand that the a case should always depend on gnat-4.6, and if the
architecture doesn't contain that specific version, then the package will
never be
compiled for that architeceture.
Also, how to handle the b case, if it is depending on version 4.6 right now?
They
should be upgraded to depend on a more recent version every time there is a
gnat
release?
Not a GNAT release but a transition to a new compiler for a Debian
release cycle. Jessie will be gnat-4.9, so all Ada packages need to be
transitioned before the freeze.
A good place to ask questions about Debian and Ada is [1].
