Several people have asked about GPS before, so it's clear that it would be good to have it packaged. I'm sure I or someone else would have done it by now if Adacore's software were more packaging-friendly. It takes a lot of time to wrestle with their makefiles to get everything built with the right compiler options and installed in the right directories. All of my own Ada work in recent years has gone into keeping up with changes in the Adacore packages we already have, to keep them up-to-date and buildable.
Possibly it might be somewhat easier to package GPS now that Fedora's policy against bundled libraries has been relaxed.

Is there any chance things got better with code being on GitHub and supposed to be easier to build?

There were changes in makefiles before transition to github even (in AWS for example). I've removed most of my parches because of that. So things are changed but not so fast as we want. The most painful part was "DESTDIR" variable fey years ago...
