From its beginning, Florist required a gcc 3.x series Ada compiler to build, and this compiler hasn't been building for most platforms for quite some time. With the recent import of lang/gcc-aux which accepts USE_LANGUAGES+= ada, it's possible to build Florist again. 1) Update to Adacore-maintained version, GPL 2012 2) Update the license (GPLv3) The time elapsed between versions is approximately 12 years, but no Changelog exists to show what has been updated.
