I have never supported this, mostly for lack of manpower. People _can_ install a non-default version of gnat. If they do so however, they _cannot_ install any -dev packages; they are on their own with just the compiler. This is already the case even before my latest changes because -dev packages already depend on gnat-x.y and gnat depends on the same gnat-x.y. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
