Right.

Right.

It's bin a while since I used SourceForge. Do you want individual files
in the AdaCore sources commited to svn, or just a tarball, or is that
uploaded in some other way? Same for the patches, do they need to be in
svn, or just uploaded to the ftp area?

Hmm. I see gcc-4.2.2 has the individual files on the wiki, but I don't
see them in the svn tree. I do see .diffs foir gcc in the svn tree.

If I'm putting things in svn, what branch, and what directory path?

I also see lots of 'rpms'; I assume that's Red Hat Package manager
files. I've never built one of those; is that required?

Got it, and it lets me edit.

Any hint on where to put this?

I'm not clear what the 'Sources' wiki is for; it doesn't seem to match
the svn tree.

Maybe a new top level section for "HowTos", with a subsection for "Ada
on Android"?

Is the wiki in a cm system, for recovery in case I screw something up? I
will cm the main pages I post on my own, but I'm wondering about the
structure pages.

I'm still wondering if putting the "howto" stuff here is better than on
the Ada Programming wiki; it seems like that might have more visibility.
It could point to GnuAda for downloading the tools and example sources.
