Debian users and developers rejoice!
See the official announcement at http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070408
Like its predecessor, this release is, among many other things, a
complete and integrated development and deployment platform for Ada
programmers. The platform consists of compiler, debugger, development
environments, and many libraries. The deployment platform consists in
the many precompiled libraries and apt, Debian's renowned package
management system. All packages will work together thanks to
adherence to the Debian Policy for Ada
(http://www.ada-france.org/debian/debian-ada-policy.html)
Here is a summary of what an Ada programmer can find in Debian
GNU/Linux 4.0, code-named Etch:
* The GCC 4.1 compiler with support for Ada. The accompanying
run-time library is licensed under the GNAT-Modified General Public
License (GMGPL). Parts of GNAT are now split out into shared
libraries for reusability, and are in fact being reused in the GNAT
tools, ASIS, and GPS. The two shared libraries are libgnatvsn
(licensed under GMGPL) containing some of GNAT's internals, and
libgnatprj (licensed under pure GPL) containing GNAT's project
manager (i.e. support for .gpr project files). The package `gnat'
is an empty package that depends on the default compiler. In Etch,
the Ada compiler supports more platforms than in the previous
version, Sarge: the new platforms supported are alpha, amd64, hppa,
ia64, kfreebsd-i386, and s390. Platforms already supported in Sarge
were i386, (32-bit) sparc and (32-bit) powerpc.
