I see > that AdaBrowse has made it in... More to the point, Charles has made it in :) I have already stated that I am unwilling to do more packaging than I already do. That said, if several Debian users request a particular package, I will reconsider. So, if anyone uses the PragMARC on Debian and would like me to package them, let me know. Let me take this opportunity to reiterate once again my call for help. If anyone wants to join me in maintaining Ada packages in Debian, you are more than welcome. I will help you get started if you send me a private email. There are many, many free software packages that would deserve to be packaged in Debian, PargmARC is but one of them. > http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/ This lists all packages in the development section; there are thousands of them. Unfortunately, Ada packages are only a small fraction of that :) If you are only interested in Ada packages, see: http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/gnat The package `gnat' recommends or suggests most other Ada packages; you can use it as a starting point.
