[Pkg-ace-devel] Plan for ACE+TAO upload

[thomas.g.girard at free.fr]

Hello,

I had a quick look at work that was commited and this
looks good. One thing I have not tested yet was the
transitioning between 5.6.3 and the new version. Other
points I'd like to discuss:
 - library changed back from libace-$V.so to libace.so.$V
 - having mwc.pl and mpc.pl in /usr/bin. What is the need
   for this? Debian policy prevents explicit extensions of
   executable available from the path (1)
 - new packages needed for some libraries? I haven't checked
   whether new packages were needed, but given that new packages
   will be added because of versioning change, packages will go
   to NEW. Hence if we need to introduce new packages we should
   do it at the same time.

To make sure we don't miss anything, I would suggest
we first upload to experimental. That would help us
stabilizing the packaging if needed, before targeting a
replacement of current version.

What do you think of that plan?

Unfortunately my laptop crashed on friday, hence I will not
be able to upload this before it is fixed.
