Hello,

I've made good progress in packaging ACE+TAO 5.4.4+1.4.4. I hope to have
packages ready for wider testing in a week or two.

New things in ACE+TAO 5.4.4+1.4.4 packages:
- reactor separation is now handled by the DOC group.
  Following Marek's advice I've updated the packages so that we now
  have libtao-{tk,qt,xt,fl}resource{5.4,-dev} packages.
- pkg-config files are also handled by the DOC group.
- New cool stuff yet to package:
  o TMCast (Transaction MultiCast)
  o HTBP (HTTP Tunneling Bidirectional Protocol)

I have not yet made transitional packages to change every package name fr=
om
lib{ace5,tao1}.4 to lib{ace5,tao1}.4.4 and prevent ABI breakage again. Th=
at's
the next step.

Also, I have fixed a few mistakes in packages for ACE 5.4.2 that should g=
o into
package version 5.4.2.1.0-3. I'll try to commit them soon. Konstantinos, =
could
you please compile and push 5.4.2.1.0-3 into Sarge when I've committed th=
ose
fixes ? This package version adresses many pending bugs, the most importa=
nt one
being #294338.

Thanks,

Thomas
