After more than a year, I have just uploaded the second edition of the
Debian Policy for Ada.  It is now available on Ada-France's web site
as HTML, plain text, and PDF.  In addition, the Debian .deb package
contains an info version.

As I explained during the FOSDEM, the Policy itself has not changed.
Basically, it consist of two points: (1) all Ada packages must use the
same compiler from the gnat package, and (2) all libraries must follow
the GNU Ada Environment Specification for the filesystem structure,
and provide GNAT project files.

However, I have reworded most of the document for clarity, and updated
a lot of time-dependent information.  There are also details on the
planned transition to GCC 4.1 in Etch in an appendix.

http://www.ada-france.org/debian/debian-ada-policy.html

And for your /etc/apt/sources.list, if you use Debian:

deb http://www.ada-france.org/debian/ ada main
deb-src deb http://www.ada-france.org/debian/ ada main

As always, I welcome comments and suggestions.
