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.

- Since MSys2 dropped support for Ada (!), how can I build Ada projects such as sdlada and gprbuild-bootstrap that require command-line tools (e.g. makefiles or bootstrap.sh) on Windows?

Ada on Windows in 2022 (Offering Help)
Building GPRBuild is not technically necessary, since this is still GCC 12, however I would recommend it, since GNAT does not promise ABI stability. https://github.com/AdaCore/gprbuild provides the rough instructions in a UNIX-friendly format. In short:

No, we’ll have to wait for (?Fabien) to set it up here when time permits. As it stands, you can use it as an external tool:

Ada Programming Language
The GNAT toolchain that Alire installs automatically is built by GitHub Actions runners from the GNAT-FSF-builds [1] repository.
You can download the toolchain as a tarball from the releases page and use it separately if you'd like. If you use Alire, it'll take care of downloading and unpacking the tarball and add it to your PATH when called via alr build.

Embedded Ada/SPARK, There's a Shortcut
There is a pro version of the SPARK tools available from AdaCore with a support subscription. But the tools are open-source and you can get free (as in beer) builds like this one for instance: https://github.com/alire-project/GNAT-FSF-builds/releases/tag/gnatprove-12.1.0-1

Ada on Windows in 2022 (Offering Help)
To start off, you'll need a bootstrap compiler. The Alire Project's GNAT FSF builds are a good candidate: https://github.com/alire-project/GNAT-FSF-builds/releases/download/gnat-12.1.0-2/gnat-x86_64-darwin-12.1.0-2.tar.gz
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gprbuild and GNAT-FSF-builds you can also consider the following projects:
