There is PAD http://pad.asp-software.org but it is not very suitable for 
software libraries.

I think that most users need more than raw source code. For example, AWS 
and GtkAda are much too complex to install manually.

Any repository to be useful must provide installers for sources and the 
run-time for an exploding number of targets.

It also must maintain dependencies between packages and tests.

Not to happen, in short.
