Dear Sir :
Would there be any way that I could invite you into the community
build farm at Blastwave.org for this purpose ? I think it would be
great if we could get a GCC package built ( with ada ) that passes a
set of QC/QA steps and then release it to the Solaris world. Clearly
I'll need a bit of help with the ada portion.
All I would need is a public key from you and then you could ssh in
through the gateway and into the server farm on any architecture or OS
level that you want. This is something that Blastwave does for
community open source people for years and it works rather well.
Dennis
