As the maintainer of the gdb package, I object to this package fork.
If you want ada support in gdb, please make it work in the current
(4.18) version. Forking (gdb-4.17, gdb-ada, gdb-ja,
gdb-I-was-too-lazy-to-port-to-patch-to-the-most-recent-gdb, etc...) is
*NOT* acceptable.
Patches are welcome, Whinings and package forks aren't.
