Greets all,

    Has anyone managed this successfully with the Community Edition 
source release ?

    As I find it, the source and dependent project sources are out of 
version sync.

    When those problems are sorted out, the python support files 
installed to '/usr/share/gnatstudio' are problematic at best, to put it 
'nicely'. They differ largely from the python support files installed in 
the corresponding 2021 binary install (and, in fact, break running 
GnatStudio).

    I wonder how this can be (unless I have made several fundamental 
build errors).

    Ada is touted for its safety, stability and portability. What would 
new-comers think when the main Ada IDE, produced by the main Ada vendor, 
breaks so frequently (every yearly release, there have been similar 
difficulties).

    How can these problems be 'accidental' over so many years ?


Regards.
