Hello,

Complete. Now package and binary names are on par with RPMs for the
subset available in RPM.

The discussion on binary names, and whether or not to distribute such
and such binaries, should be revived.

>> 1 Decide what to do with library naming, either:
>> libWhatever-x.y.z.so; or
>> libWhatever.so.x.y.z

Done.

Not done yet.

Distributed along with mpc-ace for now. Extra files removed.

>> 6 Add a new ace-gperf package for ace_gperf binary [...]

Done.

>> 7 Check we're not missing any header or idl (or pidl) [...]

TBD, along with tests to check if the package can be used to build
something relying on ACE.

>> 8 Test migration from existing 5.6.3 packages.

Basic check performed.

I've made another pass on the huge doxygen generated to reduce it
further. Now size is back to what it was in 5.6.3-5.

I believe packages are almost ready for upload; they need a little
testing before.

Any volunteer?
