I'm not really into one-time-fix-then-abandoned business but there's no reason to lastrite it in a hurry. First I'm trying to figure out: a) if there are people interested in forming an Ada project, or if Ada packages should be looking for dedicated maintainers, b) which of the Ada packages are actually needed/used. Would it be fine with you if we kept gnat-gcc and ghdl? (but lastrited dev-ada/*) -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
