Some of you may have noticed the sad demise of the Ada-France web site;
the server never recovered from a hard disk crash. That server was the
place where I published the Debian Policy for Ada, and where I placed
my Debian packages for my sponsors to pick up and upload to the
official Debian archive.
Stéphane Richard has been kind enough to provide a gig of disk space
on his web site so I could publish these assets again. The new URL for
the Debian Policy for Ada is thus:
http://www.adaworld.com/debian/debian-ada-policy.html
It is also possible to just browse the file hierarchy under
http://www.adaworld.com/debian . There you will find the Policy in
plain text, info, PDF and the original Texinfo source formats, as well
as a Debian repository with my latest and greatest packages. I
periodically delete packages from that archive as they are uploaded
into the official Debian archive.
Impatient Debian users can also add the following lines to their
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.adaworld.com/debian ada main
deb-src http://www.adaworld.com/debian ada main
The repository also supports pinning if you add the following to
/etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=ada
Pin-Priority: 600
(adjust the Pin-Priority to taste). Then you can use "apt-get install"
and "apt-get source" to obtain my packages before everyone else :)
Otherwise, you can just wait a few more days and get the packages from
Debian as usual.
Many thanks to Stéphane Richard for this web space.
I would encourage anyone interested to mirror this space so that the
Debian Ada Policy is always available somewhere on the web.
(PS. Thanks to Peter Hermann for reminding me I had to send this
announcement).
