gnat-gps for Fedora 25

[lyttlec]

Fedora 25 does not have gnat-gps available. Does the doinstall script
from adacore work OK for Fedora 25, or does someone know where an rpm
package is available.
Google only finds pages of 2005 vintage. Dmitry Kazakov had an RPM
posted about then, but the link is now stale.
Thanks

Hello!

[jrmarino]

I'm working on a cross-platform packing system.
It currently supported DragonFly BSD and Linux (FreeBSD and Solaris coming)
It contains GNAT GPS 2016 (built with GCC FSF 6.3).

It is not RPM based, but if you install it, it should work on your fedora (located at /raven/bin/gps).

see https://github.com/jrmarino/Ravenports/wiki/Ravenusers_Guide
navigate to Quickstart guide for Linux testers

This has not been announced anywhere yet, but I think it can help you in particular.

FYI, step 4 you'd do something like "sudo /raven/sbin/pkg install gps-complete-standard" to install the prebuilt package.

Hello,
GPS is one of the most "nice to have" Ada packages in Fedora. But the problem is neither one of maintainers uses it.. There was at least one attempt [3] to package it but this review is dead ...
You can join [1] to learn more about Ada related things happening in Fedora or monitor [2] for new packages.
Unfortunately GPS will not be available in Fedora 25 nor Fedora 26 due to lack of ASIS and libgpr. We still have chance to push it into F27 but it's summer... Nice weather and vacations :)
