  • Source-code hosting with Ada build tools?

    From Niklas Holsti@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 25 18:56:56 2022
    I'm planning to move a biggish Ada project from being hosted on my own
    website to some hosting service, such as GitHub or OSDN. Are there any
    such services that, in addition to a source-code repository, bug
    reporting, etc., also offer access to Ada compilers (that is, gnat) for building the SW, ideally on several platforms?

    At the moment, my main candidate is OSDN, but they explicitly do not
    provide any compilers.

    TIA for any suggestions, whether with build tools or without.

    Wow, that would be huge. Let us know if you find any.

    I am using sourceforge, it is much better than GitHub, IMO, clean
    interface, has all bells-and-whistles, easy to automate upload.

    I cannot say anything about OSDN.

    Github Actions do this; though I've never set them up for myself.

    AdaCore has one for GNAT.

    But they may be using their own compiler, instead of a preinstalled
    compiler provided by GitHub for all users. Do you know?

    Are you sure that they provide Ada compilers that can be called in an
    Action?

    I tried to find out on the GitHub website, but could not find any list
    of all the supported languages, and the specific languages they
    mentioned did not include Ada, and the Search function found nothing
    about Ada compilation.

    They have FSF GNAT too.

    Thanks! Looks like GitHub will be my choice, although I am usually a bit Microsoft-allergic.

    Aren't we all?

    I have my Ahven library and other things at Sourcehut.org: https://hg.sr.ht/~tkoskine/ahven/

    They offer generic build service also. For example see one build
    log from Ahven: https://builds.sr.ht/~tkoskine/job/675294

    The build configurations are Yaml files: https://hg.sr.ht/~tkoskine/ahven/browse/.builds?rev=tip

    Of course, the software on the build service is limited to
    open source operating systems and compilers (Linux, *BSDs, GNAT).

    Commercial Ada compilers (like ObjectAda or Janus/Ada) are not
    supported.

    For commercial Ada compilers, I run internal homelab network with
    Jenkins master on RPi4 and couple of Windows build slaves, which fetch
    the source code from Sourcehut periodically.

    And before starting to use Sourcehut, read the caveats page: https://sourcehut.org/alpha-details/

    I also think that Sourcehut doesn't support hosting of "random"
    binaries, like hand-crafted release tar balls. This kind of things
    I locate on a separate virtual server.
