I don't know if it's too off topic. If it's so please just delete this thread.
I don't want to be harsh but I have to said this project is poor quality.
I tried it on Linux. Their ported version of pkg crashed all of the time with segmentation fault: when checking for package integrity, when installing big packages like llvm. pkg also very slow and sometime just stuck fetching packages. The slowest part I think is when waiting for respond from their server. My DNS is good, so it 's nothing to do with DNS resolving. It should be their server is too slow to respond or their version of pkg is buggy.
It doesn't scale at all. I observed I could install the downloaded package manually with pkg. My network is good but the speed of pkg download always between 8-16Kb/s, pkg update sometimes stucks for more than 5 mins, it took somewhat an hour to fetch a 32 MB package, both of the time I have to Ctrl-C myself.
It's weird as with the two of the first packages to download, the download speed is very good, it's 2.8-3Mb/s. But after that it's started to unbearable slow with 8-16Kb/s. When I reboot and run the command again, the speed back to good, but only with the first two packages and slowed down again with later packages!
They must have a very bad server, or their version of pkg is buggy like hell. It's totally sucks.
p/s: I have been advertised by many people about Ada's awesomeness, after testing an Ada written project like Ravenports I have to think it's the otherwise. There must be reason why the world still using C++ but not Ada if Ada's multitasking is too awesome like that. I know about the GPS, the DoD, oh no... don't start to lecturing me about these users of Ada. The only thing I know is Ravenports, a project written in Ada, sucks. ravenadm sucks, I have never successful built anything with it, it took hours just to be failed. Totally a waste of time. I regret that I have wasted my time with it. I would rather go to the pub.
