You mean rpmbuild from DOC SVN repo completely replaces Ken's
RPM?

My question was not whether these services are compiled or distributed
in RPM. Nor what is the faster way to get up-to-date ACE+TAO Debian
packages. Again Johnny, we're seeking different goals: the version that
will be packaged in the next Debian version will have to be supported
by Debian maintainers. I will not choose the quick win method for
Debian. And we do not share the same planning; as a Debian developper I
want ACE+TAO packages to be available in Debian with a good quality, a
fine integration in the OS. Even if this means Debian does not get
distributed with the latest release of ACE+TAO.

My question was rather: does upstream think these services are worth
distributing? Are they useful or just a incomplete implementation? For
the record they are distributed as of today.
