I don't know why, but didn't have this problem when using build.sh but 
I've had it when trying to clone directly the repository (with git 
version 2.34.1).

I've checked-out org.emacs.ada-mode, which seems to be the correct one.

Shouldn't there be a default branch? Is this a savannah convention or 
just something particular to ada-mode?

On the other hand, I wanted to use my alr2appimage tool on ada-mode to 
get AppImages of the executables in ada-mode, but I get this error:

gprinstall: error: file does not exist 
'/home/mgr/src/alire/emacs_ada_mode_8.1.0_114ab44a/bin/ada_annex_p_lr1_parse_table.txt'

There's only an ada_annex_p_lr1_re2c_parse_table.txt not 
ada_annex_p_lr1_parse_table.txt.

I'll change it to ada_annex_p_lr1_re2c_parse_table.txt in the gpr file 
and see what happens, but I guess gprinstall is not used for the 
official instructions and this is some leftover.
