Jerry did send me the requested patch, and I have just finished the additional work to get this integrated into our build system. The result is that all bindings/ada/*.ad?.cmake files in the source tree are configurable now and cmake puts the configured Ada source results (without .cmake suffix) into the corresponding directory in the build tree with the build system adjusted appropriately to account for the new location. The changed build system for Ada bindings and examples seems to work fine on my platform (Debian oldstable), and I have committed these changes as of revision 7929. Those who have tested Ada before on your platforms, please test again since a stable release is coming soon. The only Ada issue I am aware of at this time is Ada example 5 has different colours than the corresponding C example. The colour setting for example 5 is completely straightforward so it's probable that this issue is caused by some subtle colour bug in the Ada bindings used by example 5. Anyhow, Jerry is still working on tracking down this issue. I don't think the 5.8.0-RC1 and 5.8.0 releases should be delayed by this issue (in case Jerry cannot fix it in time for the releases) since the Ada bindings and examples are classified as experimental in any case. Assuming the platform testing of these Ada changes and the platform testing (especially Orion's Fedora platform) of the recent octave changes goes well, I think we are ready for the release of 5.8.0-RC1 (to be followed a week or so later by 5.8.0 if the testing of the release candidate shows no showstopper issues). Hazen, what are your timing constraints for these releases? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
