Agreed but remember that the only reason we're having this discussion and going through all this trouble was because 2.12.0 was waiting in NEW when the freeze happened and because the release team refused, for reasons not yet entirely clear to me, to allow it into testing (that version does not need 05-ia64.patch). -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Please allow this package into testing, removing ia64. 1) False: it did not built on hppa yet. 2) Having the privilige of uploading to tpu does not mean you can introduce regressions (removing ia64) btw. Packages in tpu are not tested like packages in unstable, so they have to preferably be non intrusive at all...

I uploaded libgtkada2_2.8.1-6lenny2 to testing-proposed-updates on monday evening. It built successfully on all architectures except ia64. Please allow this package into testing, removing ia64. gnat-gps_4.0.1-6lenny1, which depends on the above, is on the way. I'll let you know when I upload it. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use gnat-gps package to develop AdaDesigner & GNATGPR software (not in Debian yet ;-) ; gnat-gps package does not contain critical bugs and should enter in Debian Lenny : - to maintain the Ada eco-system - to maintain Debian a the Linux reference platform for Ada.
