Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

October 2022 What Are You Working On?
Submitted libtcl and libtk externals to Alire’s 1.2.1 index - all problems fixed, I hope.

Ada Programming Language
I do not know the exact rationale of the Alire devs, but Ada already uses (since 83) the word "package" to indicate a module or namespace, so calling dependencies a "crate" seems to avoid confusion with an Ada "package".
The crates of the community index [1] are somewhat vetted because they are added to the index using a PR on GitHub. You're not required to use these external crates though, you can create your own monorepo if you want.
My personal experience has been that a package manager (for any language) makes it much easier to download and build some project.

ASFML v2.5 released
Yes you can specify dependency on external libraries that will be provided by the distribution (or msys2 on WIndows). We already have a few of those in the index, for instance you can take a look at SDL2: https://github.com/alire-project/alire-index/blob/stable-1.0/index/li/libsdl2/libsdl2-external.toml

Ada development on FreeBSD 13.1 using Ravenports
The packaging system is a fork from FreeBSD pkg(8), so it has probably the same capabilities. My installation seems to use HTTP transport through www.ravenports.com, but it has been available from my machines (in France) whenever I tried, including ~5 minutes ago.

Mildly amusing: when subscribing to DragonFly users mailing list
But you're correct: John Marino who conceived DragonFly's dports moved on handed over maintenance to a few volunteers who are unable to keep things up to date. He created a new ports project called Ravenports which was meant to succeed dports on DragonFly, but since the ports count is much lower, this has not happened, yet. It has better tooling and automation features, but also unique challenges due to being cross-platform (supporting DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD as well as Solaris and Linux for package creation). If anybody is interested in that, feel free to ask questions. I contribute to that project (I'm not a dfly user, though).
