General informations about ASIS

["Hibou57 (Yannick Duchêne)" <yannick_duchene@yahoo.fr>]

Hi all once again,

I was looking sometime ago, about ASIS, and come back looking for
informations about it.

I got basics question about it, .... perhaps someone know.

o The first one is : is there an official ASIS 2005 ? I've heard about
AdaCore working on this, but I was not able to know if theire work
bcomes the new standard.
o There are ASIS 2005 declaration packages in some Debian
distribution : are these declarations the one of an official ASIS
2005 ? What is the status of declarations which seems to indeed
enumerates all kind of Ada constructs.
o The third question : what is the content of the ISO/IEC 15291:1999
document ? Is it the same as theses declarations which I could see on
some place ? Are they some specific materials which cannot be found
elsewhere ? (I was trying to figure out if wiether or not it would be
interesting to me to save some money to order this a futur day)
o Fourth, there is a ISO/IEC 15291:1999, which does not seems to apply
to Ada 2005. If I did not found any reference about an ISO standard
for an hypothetical ASIS 2005, does it mean there is no official ASIS
2005 ?
o Fith : what is the legal status of these ASIS declarations ? Is it a
public standard (although apparently none-free, it may still be
public, this would not be contradictory)

With lots of thanks

Y.D.
