This effort is focused too much on Linux (only). Where is
the *BSD installable versions for example?
IMO what is needed is a fairly extensive _group_ of packages
rolled into one RPM (or other installable package). Even nicer,
would be a menu to allow you to exclude packages you didn't want
to install as part of this one time install/update. The gnuada
approach is still very much a piecemeal approach.
What I am suggesting is an "Ada Distribution" where everything
is included (maybe on CD), and you pick and choose what you
want installed (including the option to install "all") at
install time.
Heck, I may do it myself someday, if I ever find the time. But
time is my enemy at the moment ;-)
