Probably because I forgot to remove upstream's 'debian' directory, then
accidentally overwrote it with my own contents. I will clean 'debian'
tomorrow.

It's in 6.2.7+dfsg-1, so no worries

It seemed to work fine for me

Lintian reported nothing on my system, although it waw 2.5.24 IIRC, not the
latest 2.5.25. I will try tomorrow on a fully-updated sid.

Right, I want to keep history. It's easier to keep it in git than to keep
tarballs around :-)

I may need to add 6.2.7-1 at some point, just to be overwritten by
6.2.7+dfsg-1 immediately. I will think about this tomorrow evening. For
now, let's focus on getting ACE 6.2.7+dfsg-1 in the archive.

I downloaded DDS and tried to build it but it needs TAO, therefore I
couldn't try on the computer I am now writing (not where I packaged
6.2.7+dfsg-1).

It seems to support using an existing ACE_ROOT and TAO_ROOT but my feeling
is OpenDDS still needs to be built together with ACE and TAO. This may very
well mean the TAO licensing issues will be preventing us from shipping
OpenDDS :-/

Anyone up for writing a new IDL-to-C++ compiler? ;-)
