Hi!
Tomorrow GCC5 is due to be released and I'd like to switch FreeBSD to
use the GNAT compiler from gcc5.  The problem with GtkAda (above) is the
only thing blocking that.  I could try to recreate the fix that probably
exists in the repository, but I'd rather cherry pick it. Is it possible
somebody could put a snapshop of the gtkada repository in a tarball that
can be downloaded?

The project was effectively closed off 9 months ago along with several
others so it would be nice to get a peek if that's possible.

Regards,
John
