So I'm wondering - what is the correct bug report for Alire crates? And what can I do to get this bug fixed? Since AdaCore's official policy (1) is that the community release of GNAT and associated products is done thru Alire, this seems to be an important concern. The bug has been fixed in the development versino, so the fix for the Alire crate is to simply release a new version of the crate, which only the author of the crate can do. Is that only done once per year, as for the previous Community releases? I would hope not; part of the point of splitting the releases into crates is to allow separate releases of each crate. There's no date on 1. How can you have a policy statement with no effective date!? -- -- Stephe 1. https://blog.adacore.com/a-new-era-for-ada-spark-open-source-community
