<p>There are 51 Ada-related ports currently, but two of them
are being retired: the GCC 4.7-based <tt>lang/gcc47-aux</tt> and
the BSD-&gt;android cross-compiler for ARMv5
(<tt>lang/gnatdroid-armv5</tt>). The former has no advantage
over the newer GCC 4.9-based <tt>lang/gcc-aux</tt>, and the
latter has not built for over a year. Android enthusiasts can
still use the the ARMv7 cross-compiler
(<tt>lang/gnatdroid-armv7</tt>).</p>
<p>A new port is <tt>lang/gcc5-aux</tt>, which includes GNAT
from the upcoming release of gcc5. This compiler already builds
all Ada ports except gtkada3 (which blocks the
<tt>devel/gps</tt> &mdash; the GNAT Programming Studio), and
<tt>gtkada3</tt> should be fixed soon. When GCC5 is released,
the Ada framework will switch to using <tt>gcc5-aux</tt> as the
default compiler. For those that cannot wait, it is possible to
use it now by putting <tt>ADA_DEFAULT=5</tt> in /etc/make.conf,
but this requires rebuilding all Ada ports from source.</p>

<p>It is a near-term objective to bring the Ada-based GDHL
(VHDL simulator) to ports. The upcoming release 0.32 will be
based on GCC 4.9 and the port will be based on this release.</p>
