<<No, we actually work very closely with this group, and they have direct
access to anything they want, the reason being to expedite the release of
the RPM's for a new GNAT release. Like any group of volunteers, the time
they can spend on this goes up and down, it is not a first priority for
any of that group, quite understandably, whereas of course GNAT *is*
a first priority for the 35 or so people working at ACT and ACT/Europe.

Just to be a bit clearer, what we were doing in working with the
GNAT for GNU/Linux folks was precisely trying to give them the
same kind of environment to work with that will now be possible
for them and others with an open tree as part of the GCC sources,
and for one release it was quite successful, but people had less
time available a year later for whatever reasons.
