x86 and gnat
by Pavel Zhukov 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hi Ada coders and lovers, As x86 (32-bit for i686->) is not primary architecture anymore [2] and we have at least one bug which blocks gprbuild [1] (and as the result almost whole stack) I start to think about dropping i686 from the list of GNAT_arches since F26 onward. Any ideas/objections? [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1444614 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures -- Pavel

GPS is around the corner
by Pavel Zhukov 01 Aug '17

Hi Bjorn ( and other Ada and Fedora lovers :-) ) , Finally I've sorted out job related issues and can dedicate more time on Fedora packaging activities. I have drafts of gnat_util and ASIS packages ready but don't see usecases for them so far. As you know the main missed part is Gnat Programming Studio and users want it! I'm working on it right know but metfew issues there I'd like to discuss (seek for help/advice). Main issues: GPS requires gnatcoll with libgpr support enabled. libgpr is provided by gprbuild and I've managed to build it [1]. However I'm not 100% sure if we can ship additional directories like %{_includedir}/gpr and %{_libdir}/gpr in addition to %{}/gprbuild. I've not found such kind of restriction in Packaging Guidelines through. Do gprbuild-libgpr and gprbuild-libgpr-devel sound good? Gnatcoll itself... As you can see there're two versions of the package on libre.adacore.com. First one is "normal" one which is released with gnat and called gnatcoll-gpl-%{version} and we have it in Fedora for a while. Second one is "special" version for GPS and called gnatcoll-gps. The reason of having this is release time of GPS and Gnatcoll development model. So I can imaging few possible solutions: 1) Use gnatcoll-gps sources in gnatcoll RPM. Disadvantage is having approx. 5 months "older" codebase which was not actually "released". But who cares :) 2) Add second SOURCE to the rpm and gnatcoll-gps subpackage which provides BR for GPS and single gnatcoll-gps.so library to link with. Requires patching of build system and I don't like this part. But advantage is to have gnatcoll which was actually released in distribution. So should be more stable in theory (sigh). 3) Ship gnatcoll-gps sources in gps-gnatcoll-* rpms as BR and runtime libraries. Has same disadvantages as (2) and even more as I don't like the idea to ship gnatcoll in gps package... 4) Do not package gps at all :) Minor issue is GtkAda3 bug [2].
