Setup Alire Action

GitHub action to setup Alire, the Ada/SPARK package manager.

Version v2 adds caching to speed up deployment, particularly on Windows.

Usage

To use the latest stable release of the Alire project, add this line to your workflow steps:

    - uses: alire-project/setup-alire@v3

To use a precompiled nightly build of the development version, use the following:

    - uses: alire-project/setup-alire@v3
      with:
        version: "nightly"

To use a development version compiled from sources (if you known what you are doing), use the following:

    - uses: alire-project/setup-alire@v3
      with:
        branch: "master" # or the branch you want to use

For building from sources, the action will detect whether a GNAT is already in the PATH. If not, one will be installed to be able to build alr.

The command-line tool alr will be available in PATH after the action completes.

More generally, these options are available for the action:

  version:
    description: Use this argument to install a stable release. Use a version number without v prefix, e.g., 1.0.1, 1.1.0. This argument will be ignored if a branch argument is supplied. Defaults to the latest stable release.
    required: false
    default: '2.0.0'
