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

[Johnny Willemsen]

First, to my idea packaging should just be packaging, no patching to
ACE/TAO files. If there are issues found with packaging they should be
fixed the correct way on svn head.

Is stable for production, but enabling this will mean we add that
dependency, do we want that?

Shouldn't do that, makes things bigger

You can enable it, but only used for CIAO
