Hi Thomas, I'd be happy to include your patch to update the debian=20
packages. As it was, the last 2 months were very busy for me, as I=20
relocated to a different city and i also had to finish some=20
localization stuff for Debian as sarge release is imminent. This is=20
the reason why I could not afford time on the ACE packages.
But now I'm much better and I'd like to have sarge with a more recent=20
version of the packages. As far as mpc and cidl I have no experience=20
at all and I'd appreciate your help in implementing a proper Makefile=20
policy using mpc in the ace packages. One of the consequences will be=20
that it will be able to provide packages with separated the Xt, Qt,=20
etc. Reactors from the main ACE library.

Hope you will be able to help :-)

Regards

Konstantinos
