Description Alexander Barris 2023-05-18 10:57:06 UTC
Please branch and build gprbuild in epel8. We use this with gcc-gnat (available in EPEL8).

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Alexander Barris 2023-05-25 18:46:33 UTC
Will you be able to branch and build gprbuild in epel8?

Comment 2 Björn Persson 2023-05-27 17:43:01 UTC
I see that the gcc-epel package is active, receiving updates now and then, so it looks like it would make sense to build the Ada packages for EPEL 8 and 9.

I haven't seen much activity from Pavel lately. Maybe he has no free time or is otherwise unable to work on packaging. I can try to take some time to do it, but if someone would step up and help out, that would be appreciated.

Comment 3 Björn Persson 2023-06-05 18:40:48 UTC
I have nothing for EPEL 8 yet, but in case you're interested, I have bootstrapped GPRbuild 23 for EPEL 9. It's now available in the epel-testing repository, along with a few libraries:

The version of Libgnat in EPEL 8 is too old for GPRbuild 23. I hope to be able to build an older version of GPRbuild for EPEL 8.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
