Ada Support on Archlinux

Ada Support on Archlinux

[Rod Kay]

Hello.all,

    Unfortunately, the attempt to have gprbuild and xmlada added into 
the official Archlinux package repositories has not been successful. 
Nonetheless, thanks to those who voted for these packages. The gist of 
the problem from Arch's Trusted Users (who manage adding new packages 
into the official repo's) was "I don't use Ada, so I won't sponsor it.".

    Given this situation, I've created a custom repository for the (50 
odd) Arch Ada packages, currently served by a Linode. Details (and the 
current package list) can be found here ...

               https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ada


    If anyone has any suggestions for additional Ada projects to add to 
the package list, please let me know.



Regards.

    Glug ... I jumped the gun a bit.

    There is a security issue to be resolved. The above link will not 
show the full details til then.

    I'll re-post when the problem is fixed.
