It seems that gitter lost the editing on my last post where I explained "twisted dependency"...
To make a long story short: I need to use a crate that I modified to adapt it to my case (more recent versions of the crate have the same changes, but they are available only on github, not alire, as far as I know). Since I rely on the modified crate, I cannot upload my project to alire since alr get would get the unmodified crate.
Yes, it is a problem of mine, but I guess that the same issue can raise also in other projects. It would be nice to say to alire "Look, I need this crate, but with this patch applied"
Is there a way to do it? If not, would it be worth having it?
pragma Restriction that prohibits allocators , but I need them in my project and since Restrictions apply to the whole partition, I cannot use spartnacl and allocators together.Also, the restrictions cause problems with the sparknacl itself when in
sparknacl-debug.adb uses a Boolean'image.I edited the
*.adc file to remove the restrictions, but my project cannot be added to alire as it is.BTW, the new version 3.0.0 of sparknacl actually has the restrictions weakened because of this issue.
gnat_native ">=11.2.1"
gnat_native, gnat_external, gnat_arm_elf and gnat_riscv64_elf all provide the gnat dependency.
alr build from scratch?
ISTR someone having gnatcoll-json problems here? how to search?
Anyway, I get this
[Ada] gnatcoll-json.adb
gnatcoll-json.adb:1404:11: ambiguous call to "Append"

...compiling gnatcoll_21.0.0_6c0439a3 with external gcc-11.1.0 (macOS Big Sur, alr v1.1.0).
Whereas it compiles just fine outside alr build.
The reason is that alr build adds the switch -gnatX; not the first time that this has caused problems. How to stop this?
It also adds -gnatwU, turn off warnings for unused entity; not so bad, I suppose.

@simonjwright, gnatcoll seems to break periodically at random times for me as well with Alire ... like this morning. Normally I mix these ingredients in some correct order for things to work again:
- remove
~/.config/alire - revert everything
- wipe build artifact directories
alr with gnat(this fixes build issues on my linux box for some reason?, but fails if I leave this in the gpr long term, so it gets wiped on "revert everything")alr clean && alr build
...sigh... nope. The error seem completely random and I'm to the point of just finish excising gnatcoll out of my project entirely. I added a note to alire-project/alire#771, but I'm just going to roll onto other things.
