I created quick and dirty AVR-Ada package for Ubuntu 14.04 (amd64 only for now) using the latest AVR-Ada sources (basically 1.2.2 + some fixes). It is categorized as "quick and dirty" because I generated the binaries on Ubuntu 14.04 using my avr-ada build script and then created the package using fpm.

Anyway, if you are brave enough, you can get the package from ubuntu.ada-language.com by adding line:

deb http://ubuntu.ada-language.com/14.04 ./

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avr-ada

The package is not signed, so you need to say Yes ('y') when apt-get asks about the installation of the package.

Once the package is installed, you can find the binaries from /opt/avr-ada/avr-ada-122 directory. Then you need to adjust PATH variable and add /opt/avr-ada/avr-ada-122/bin to PATH so your shell finds avr-gnatmake and other relevant tools.

Note: The package is about 162 megabytes and includes also avr-binutils and all other tools required for AVR-Ada programs.

If you want to generate the package by yourself, you can clone avr-ada-build-script repository and run the script and the fpm tool:

hg clone https://hg.sr.ht/~tkoskine/avr-ada-build-script
cd avr-ada-build-script
# install gnat-4.6, probably need many other dependencies also
apt-get install gnat-4.6
mkdir build-1
vi build-avr-ada-environment.sh # tweak the paths
cd build-1
sh -x ../build-avr-ada-environment.sh
fpm -s dir -t deb -n avr-ada -v 1.2.2 /opt/avr-ada/avr-ada-122
