Re: [Ada-mode-users] Gnu Emacs Ada mode 6.1.0 released.

[Simon Wright]

Thanks for this.

3 packages got upgraded (ada-mode, ada-ref-man, wisi).

On completion, emacs said

> Package menu: Operation finished.  2 packages are no longer needed, type ‘M-x package-autoremove’ to remove them

which I did: this was a Bad Idea, because it deleted elpa/ada-mode-6.1.0 (I don't remember what the other one was), so I couldn't compile the process parser.

Thank heavens for Time Machine & the instructions at https://www.silverbaytech.com/2013/11/21/restoring-hidden-files-with-time-machine/

Gnu Emacs Ada mode 6.1.0 is now available in GNU ELPA. This is a medium
feature release; partial file parsing is now supported when using the
process parser, and error correction is improved. This means the time
spent parsing is independent of the file size, so it is fast enough even
on the largest files.

The process parser requires a manual compile step, after the normal
list-packages installation:

cd ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-6.1.0
./build.sh

This requires AdaCore gnatcoll packages which you may not have
installed; see ada-mode.info Installation for help in installing them.
