Full Ada programming toolchain now on FreeBSD

Hi all !

As a FreeBSD enthusiast, convinced by the reliability, quality, consistency of FreeBSD ... since 2002 , running a couple of FBSD servers for Ada Components Repository at AdaForge.org with poudriere.

I'm pleased to announce the availability of the full GNAT Ada 2022 toolchain for FreeBSD.
  1. GNAT latests Ada commits on 2025-07-04, with GCC 13 , 14, 15.1.1 and 16-devel
  2. GPRBUILD, latest commits on 2025-03-12
  3. ALire, 2.1.0 from branch
  4. TestSuite ACATS 4.2.1
For now all the binaries are on AdaForge's GitLab in their "Package registry".
Note : Next step : PR to FreeBSD Port maintainer to have it direct in the FreeBSD Port & Pkg eco-system, ready to be downloaded.
