Hello. The gcc-V source package builds the Ada compiler (gnat-V) and companion library (libgnat-V). The default Ada compiler is selected by the gnat package. In unstable and testing, gnat Depends: gnat-11. In experimental, gnat Depends: gnat-12. Most Ada packages are currently removed from testing because of #1020018 (in libxmlada, a quite common indirect build-dependency via gprbuild) (fixed by this transition). Ada libraries have specific requirements. * They must Build-Depend: gnat (>= V) gnat (<< V+1). * Each -dev package name carries a version, similar to the shared object version for lib packages. Most changes in the source require a renaming of the -dev package, and a source upload of all reverse dependencies. In order to reduce the number of such transitions, many unrelated changes, like new upstream releases, are introduced with a libgnat transition and tested in experimental. * Each -dev package depends on both gnat and gnat-V. GCC builds no libgnat-V-dev package. The sources for the Ada standard library are distributed with the compiler in the gnat-V package. So it is convenient to track the transition with the libgnat-V package instead (even when the ABI is unchanged).

I intend to - fill RC bugs against them in order to prevent their migration from unstable to to testing. - reupload them from experimental to unstable with the other packages as part of the transition (so that the versions depending on gnat-11 disappear from unstable) (and so that RC-buggy but mostly usable versions are available) - try to fix the issues after the transition is completed Is this the right way to proceed? adacgi adasockets ahven anet dbusada gprbuild gprbuild libalog libaunit libflorist libgnatcoll libgnatcoll-bindings libgtkada liblog4ada libncursesada libtemplates-parser libtexttools libxmlada libxmlada libxmlezout pcscada ready in experimental, removed from unstable plplot ready in experimental dh-ada-library gprconfig-kb ready in experimental (not Ada libraries, but connected and part of the transition) ghdl music123 are ready in experimental (not Ada libraries, but part of the transition because of dh-ada-library/8) These source packages produce no library and should only need a bin-NMU in due time: nmu topal_81-2 .
