[Pkg-ace-devel] ACE 5.4.2.1.0-4 packages + override question

Hi Konstantinos,

I've just committed changes to Raphael's repo, and tagged the tree with
tag debian_version_5_4_2_1_0-4.
Most notable changes:
   o Multiple dependency fixes.
   o Fix bug #307258.

I've also set the urgency to high.

There's something I don't understand with the override file. The mail
posted to the ml states that:

> libace-flreactor-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says devel.
> libace-qtreactor-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says devel.
> libace-tkreactor-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says devel.
> libace-xtreactor-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says devel.
> libtao-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says libs.
> libtao-qtreactor-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says devel.
> libtao-xtreactor-dev_5.4.2.1.0-3_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says libs.
> mpc-ace_5.4.2.1.0-3_all.deb: package says section is devel, override says libdevel.

Why ? I think libace-{fl,qt,tk,xt}reactor-dev, libtao-dev and
libtao-{qt,xt}reactor-dev packages belong to libdevel. Likewise, I
believe mpc-ace should be in devel. Do you agree with me ?

I've posted a follow-up for #307253. Maybe we should add information on
how to compile ACE examples in README.Debian ?

Also, lintian complains about libciao-dev big-usr-share usage. This is
due to Visio diagrams. Maybe we should remove them from the package ?

Thanks,
Thomas
