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. gnat 4.1.1-15 The GNU Ada compiler gnat-4.1 4.1.1-22 The GNU Ada compiler libgnat-4.1 4.1.1-22 Runtime library for GNU Ada applications libgnat-4.1-dbg 4.1.1-22 Runtime library for GNU Ada applications libgnatprj-dev 4.1.1-22 GNU Ada Project Manager development files libgnatprj4.1 4.1.1-22 GNU Ada Project Manager libgnatprj4.1-dbg 4.1.1-22 GNU Ada Project Manager libgnatvsn-dev 4.1.1-22 GNU Ada compiler version library - development files libgnatvsn4.1 4.1.1-22 GNU Ada compiler version library libgnatvsn4.1-dbg 4.1.1-22 GNU Ada compiler version library * The Ada-aware debugger based on GDB 6.4: gnat-gdb 6.4+2006-2 Ada-aware version of GDB * The GNAT Programming Studio, version 4: gnat-gps 4.0.1-3 The GNAT Programming System - advanced IDE for C and Ada gnat-gps-doc 4.0.1-3 The GNAT Programming System - documentation * The GNAT Library for Ada Distributed Execution (GLADE), the free implementation of Annex E: gnat-glade 2006-3 GNAT Library for Ada Distributed Execution gnat-glade-doc 3.15p-5 GNAT Distributed Systems Annex documentation libgarlic-dev 2006-3 Generic Ada Reusable Library for Interpartition Communication libgarlic2006 2006-3 Generic Ada Reusable Library for Interpartition Communication (gnat-glade-doc is the only package not updated since Sarge, for lack of time and energy on my part, but the older version of the doc is still usable and relevant to GNADE 2006). * The Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS): asis-programs 2005-5 Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) example programs libasis-dev 2005-5 Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) headers and libr libasis2005 2005-5 Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) runtime library * Additional development tools based on ASIS: adabrowse 4.0.2-5 HTML generator for Ada 95 library unit specifications adacontrol 1.6r8-1 An Ada rules controller * GtkAda, version 2.8.1 (used in GPS): libgnomeada-2.8 2.8.1-5 Ada binding for the Gnome Library libgnomeada2-dbg 2.8.1-5 Debugging symbols for libgnomeada2 libgnomeada2-dev 2.8.1-5 Development files for libgnomeada2 libgtkada-2.8 2.8.1-5 Ada binding for the GTK library libgtkada-gl-2.8 2.8.1-5 Ada binding for OpenGL libgtkada-glade-2.8 2.8.1-5 Ada binding for Glade generated applications libgtkada2-bin 2.8.1-5 Development files for libgtkada2 libgtkada2-dbg 2.8.1-5 Debugging symbols for libgtkada2 libgtkada2-dev 2.8.1-5 Development files for libgtkada2 libgtkada2-doc 2.8.1-5 Documentation for libgtkada2 * The Ada Web Server, version 2.2: libaws-bin 2.2dfsg-1 Ada Web Server utilities libaws-dev 2.2dfsg-1 Ada Web Server development files libaws-doc 2.2dfsg-1 Ada Web Server documentation libaws2.2 2.2dfsg-1 Ada Web Server shared library * XML/Ada, version 2.2: libxmlada2 2.2-7 XML/Ada, a full XML suite for Ada programmer libxmlada2-dev 2.2-7 XML/Ada, a full XML suite for Ada programmer * The GNU Ada Database Environment, version 1.6: gnade-bin 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - embedded SQL preproce libgnademysql-dev 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - MySQL programming int libgnademysql1.6 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - MySQL interface libgnadeodbc-dev 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - ODBC programming inte libgnadeodbc1.6 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - ODBC interface libgnadepostgresql-dev 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - PostgreSQL programmin libgnadepostgresql1.6 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - PostgreSQL interface libgnadesqlite-dev 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - SQLite programming in libgnadesqlite1.6 1.6.1-1+b1 GNat Ada Database Environment - SQLite interface * Several assorted libraries to complement the above: adacgi 1.6-9 Ada CGI interface libadasockets-dev 1.8.4.7-4 bindings for socket services in Ada libadasockets1 1.8.4.7-4 bindings for socket services in Ada libaunit-dev 1.03-2 AUnit, a unit testing framework for Ada libaunit1.03 1.03-2 AUnit, a unit testing framework for Ada libflorist-dev 2006-1 POSIX.5 Ada interface to operating system se libflorist2006 2006-1 POSIX.5 Ada interface to operating system se libopentoken-dev 3.0b-5 OpenToken lexical analysis library for Ada libopentoken3.0b 3.0b-5 OpenToken lexical analysis library for Ada - libtemplates-parser-dev 10.0+20060522-5 Ada library to parse files and replace varia libtemplates-parser10 10.0+20060522-5 Ada library to parse files and replace varia libtexttools-dev 2.0.3-4 Ada and C++ library for writing console appl libtexttools2.0 2.0.3-4 Ada and C++ library for writing console appl * And one end-user application written in Ada; I wish that future versions of Debian contain many more! music123 15-0.1 A command-line shell for sound-file players -- Ludovic Brenta.
