Stefan> 6 months later.  Ping!

I'd like to point out that the replacement does not actually work.

I installed it and it asks me to run a build script:

File mode specification error: (error ada_mode_wisi_lr1_parse not found 
on ‘exec-path’; run ’build.sh’ in the ELPA package.)

This seems like a step backward compared to the old mode, but ok.
However:

    murgatroyd. pwd
    /home/tromey/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-7.1.4
    murgatroyd. sh build.sh     directories.gpr:27:04: no value defined 
for "hardware_platform"
    directories.gpr:27:41: undefined external reference "HARDWARE_PLATFORM"
    gprclean: "ada_mode_wisi_parse.gpr" processing failed
    directories.gpr:27:04: no value defined for "hardware_platform"
    directories.gpr:27:41: undefined external reference "HARDWARE_PLATFORM"
    gprbuild: "ada_mode_wisi_parse.gpr" processing failed

That is, compilation fails.

I think I'll try to make my own package from the old sources.

I'd like to ask, though, that the old package just be restored.
I don't see any benefit to the current setup, only negatives.

thanks,
Tom
