With MPC we can't do that, it would mean we compile this with each program. Maybe we can use some template meta programming to determine the size?<div class=""><br></div></blockquote><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">

The Sun part is still part of TAO_IDL. That license is probably now owned by MicroFocus which bought all progress orbs some time ago. Another option is to replace TAO_IDL with RIDLC with a new C++ backend, but that will be a significant amount of work, that is something that has to be funded by someone.<br>

Sure, I'll dump lintian output to a file and upload it. Still compiling :-)<br>

Are you able to share the warnings, maybe host them somewhere?<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Yes, it did but apparently I didn't notice :-/ In fact, it's been so<br>
long since I did anything in ACE packaging that my packaging for 6.2.7<br>
(available in pgquiles-6.2.7-wrong) was missing some of my own changes<br>
in git from a long time ago (!!!)<br>
<br>
I have taken your branch, fixed a few unimportant issues, and added<br>
the useful parts from my branch: lintian overrides, fix some typos,<br>
remove privacy breach complaints and little more. It's available in<br>
the jwi+pgquiles-6.2.7 branch (building right now for the first time).<br>
There is still quite some work to do to clean all the lintian<br>
warnings, especially in regards to large file support<br>
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, etc).<br>
<br>
Also, what is the licensing issue with TAO that Steven Hartmann<br>
mentioned in the 6.2.7 thread? The Sun-licensed files? I seem to<br>
remember something from a long time ago but I cannot find the<br>
specifics, only this from Fedora:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450164" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/<u></u>show_bug.cgi?id=450164</a><br>
<br>
And lintian is also complaining about mixed OpenSSL + GPL code but I<br>
have not verified yet:<br>
<br>
E: libtao-orbsvcs-2.2.7: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-<u></u>openssl<br>
N:<br>
N: This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on the<br>
N: OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or<br>
N: exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including<br>
version<br>
N: 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and<br>
therefore<br>
N: Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL<br>
libraries<br>
N: unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting this.<br>
N:<br>
N: If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not<br>
N: linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian<br>
N: override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of<br>
N: distinguishing between that case and problematic packages.<br>
N:<br>
N: Severity: serious, Certainty: wild-guess<br>
N:<br>
N: Check: copyright-file, Type: binary<br>

No, I started from the 6.1.2 packaging. I didn't know you had started<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I am packaging ACE+TAO 6.2.7, which should solve #746825<br>
<br>
Packaging is done. Now I need to do some QA. There are hundreds of<br>
lintian issues, some of them serious (e. g. a licensing problem with<br>
OpenSSL).<br>
