Hi,

Our project is a heavy user of annex E. We are currently using gnat GPL
2007 + glade GPL 2007, thanks to adacore.

The trend seems to be to use polyorb instead of glade for distributed
application. So I have started to compile our project with polyorb but
with gcc-4.3 + svn or full gpl 2008 (gnat + polyorb) version I encounter
"bugs"...

I have coded a simple test case that trigs one of the bugs, it can be
found at :
http://ipnnarval.in2p3.fr/~xavier/test_case_polyorb.tar.gz

I have also started to package polyorb for debian in order to have annex
E in next stable release (aka Lenny). I try to help also on glade
packaging but PCS versioning render incompatible glade 2007 sources with
gnat-4.3 that will be provided with next stable release.

So I wonder if there is a GLADE 2008 GPL somewhere and if it can be
released in order that we can wait for a full annex E implementation in
polyorb ?

Another solution should be to pay (that I will be more than happy to
pay) for adacore support on compiler and annex E, but no money from my
lab for the moment :(

Best regards,
xavier
