[Pkg-ace-devel] Bug#697848: NMU of ace ?

[Ralf Treinen]

Hello,

the source package is now available at

  http://people.debian.org/~treinen/ace/

I would appreciate if you could check that everything is fine before I
will upload it to sid. If possible I would like to upload over the coming
weekend at latest.

Finally I played it as conservative as possible and left the tao* files 
under debian/ as they do not hurt. Here is the changelog entry:

ace (6.0.3+dfsg-0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU with maintainers blessing.
  * Remove upstream files with nonfree licence (closes: #697848) or
    without source (closes: #697847):
    - repack the orig tarball by removing:
        bin/LabVIEW_RT/*.exe
        examples/{C++NPv2,C++NPv1,APG}/
        TAO/
    - debian/control: drop all packages named *tao*
    - debian/rules: drop everything related to tao
    - remove all hunks applying to TAO files in patch reduce-doxygen-doc.diff
    - drop patch 34-bts386713.diff since it applies only to TAO files.
    - debian/copyright: remove copyright entries of TAO/, and of the 
      directories under examples/ that have been removed.
  * Bump version in build-dependency on debhelper to >=9 since we are using
    debhelper compatibility level 9.

However, it certainly is too late in the release process to introduce
a new tao-nonfree package into wheezy/non-free.

Cheers -Ralf.
