Okay, great !

There were many changes in 5.4.3, e.g. separation of stubs and code in
shared libraries. Therefore the packaging of this new version is not
going to be straight. I suggest we open a branch on Raphael's repo for
ACE 5.4.3 so that we can remove no longer needed patches on 5.4.3.

#16 and #82 were taken from upstream, therefore they are in 5.4.3 and do
not need to be applied.

I have a pending patch for Bug #289157, awaiting Marek's (CC'ed)
approval to be commited to Raphael's repo.

Marek happens to be responsible for reactor's separation at the DOC
group, and he has worked with Raphael to extend existing separation. So
he and Raphael are the reactor separation guys :-)

I agree that using the dedicated space on alioth would be more logical.
Raphael, what do you think ?
