[Pkg-ace-devel] Bug#746825: ACE+TAO 6.2.7

[Pau Garcia i Quiles]

Hello,

Here you go:

http://www.elpauer.org/tmp/ace_6.2.7-1_i386-lintian-output.txt.gz

Most of the warnings seem easy to fix.

The large file support warning is easy to fix if MPC supports some
kind of "test" feature. I implemented that in CMake script for Wt a
while ago:

https://github.com/pgquiles/wt/commit/90d5bfeb5f87232a8f074e2c7fe7eb0a92dd6d58


The only thing that I am actually worried about is the licensing issue
with OpenSSL. If lintian is complaining, most probably GPL-code is
transitively being linked to OpenSSL, thus causing a licensing
problem.
