Prototype of Alire crate for EWS

[stcarrez]

I've made the attached Alire crate. I think it would be good that you publish it in the Alire index so that EWS be integrated and can be used from Alire environment.

The version number is not clear for me so I picked the 2022 number.

May be the description could be longer.

As far as I'm concerned, I have created several crates of some of my libraries that now use this ewscrate. I'm using my own crate index so I can use that ews definition in it but a more public access would be great!

FYI, I'm now able to run my complete Ada Web Application framework on top of EWS.
Blog, Wiki, Q&A, Google OAuth2 authentication are working well so the support for query parameters, forms, headers, binary responses etc are working. The only thing I've not yet done is the file upload.

That’s good news!

I can merge this as-is, and then make these changes to start with?

I think the version should be 1.11.0 (this will be the 11th release tag).

The GPRs should be project-files = ["ews.gpr", "make_htdocs.gpr"], because generating the static tree is important!

I’ll work on some github actions to verify releases, probably just by making the demo. Also, some improvement needed to installation/usage instructions.

And the licensing should be GPL-3.0-or-later WITH GCC-exception-3.1

Yes, get it and do as many changes that you need!

Thanks! .. working on a full Alire update

I’ve now made an initial alire-aware build (11.0); there are a couple of issues outstanding, the main (#10) being the README.md, which needs to include a simple how-to.
Also, the executable ews-make_htdocs is now bin/ews_generator.
