[Pkg-ace-devel] Bug#746825: ACE+TAO 6.2.7

[Pau Garcia i Quiles]

Hello,

Yes, it did but apparently I didn't notice :-/ In fact, it's been so
long since I did anything in ACE packaging that my packaging for 6.2.7
(available in pgquiles-6.2.7-wrong) was missing some of my own changes
in git from a long time ago (!!!)

I have taken your branch, fixed a few unimportant issues, and added
the useful parts from my branch: lintian overrides, fix some typos,
remove privacy breach complaints and little more. It's available in
the jwi+pgquiles-6.2.7 branch (building right now for the first time).
There is still quite some work to do to clean all the lintian
warnings, especially in regards to large file support
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, etc).

Also, what is the licensing issue with TAO that Steven Hartmann
mentioned in the 6.2.7 thread? The Sun-licensed files? I seem to
remember something from a long time ago but I cannot find the
specifics, only this from Fedora:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450164

And lintian is also complaining about mixed OpenSSL + GPL code but I
have not verified yet:

E: libtao-orbsvcs-2.2.7: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
N:
N:    This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on the
N:    OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or
N:    exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including version
N:    3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and therefore
N:    Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL libraries
N:    unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting this.
N:
N:    If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not
N:    linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian
N:    override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of
N:    distinguishing between that case and problematic packages.
N:
N:    Severity: serious, Certainty: wild-guess
N:
N:    Check: copyright-file, Type: binary
