* Björn Persson:
In Fedora and earlier versions of RHEL/CentOS, gcc-gnat is a
subpackage
of gcc. Adding it to EPEL would make it a separate package. I'm not
sure what complications might arise from that.
The main problem is that /usr/bin/gcc does not have Ada support. It
will not try to invoke gnat1 (the actual Ada compiler) even if it is
installed at the correct path. I'm trying to figure out if anything can
be done about this. This change would have to happen in the gcc
package.
If this change does not happen, you will have to ship /usr/bin/gnatgcc
instead, with some patching of the GNAT tools to use that. Ada packages
that assume a single compiler driver for Ada/C/C++ will need fixing,
too.
Thanks,
Florian
