Description Mike Thompson 2015-08-21 13:00:21 UTC
The highest stable version of virtual/gnat is at 4.3.  This pulls in dev-lang/gnat-gcc-4.3.6, which in turn provokes a slot conflict with sys-apps/texinfo upon a world update.

There is a virtual/gnat-4.4.  It is keyworded, and appropriately so:  gnat-gcc in the 4.4 slot is also keyworded.

Versions of virtual/gnat which do not exist are 4.5 and 4.6; the corresponding gnat-gcc versions exist and are marked as stable.  We need at least virtual/gnat-4.6.  (The dev-lang/gnat-gcc-4.5.4 ebuild knows about the conflict and disables the documentation; I'll be sticking to the 4.6 slot.)

I got around the problem by setting up an 4.6 ebuild in my local overlay.  It was very easy to copy and modify the 4.3 ebuild, but I shouldn't have to do that.
