[Pkg-ace-devel] ACE, TAO, OpenDDS and ROS2

[Linas Vepstas]

"private" just means that they are not installed.  They're in the source
tree, are used to build the package, but aren't part of the package.

The private header was in TAO, not ACE. So; libtao builds with some IDL
header, but that IDL header is not part of libtao-dev so not installed on
the user's system.

OpenDDS needed that header ...

The biggest problem here is that there is no libtao, no libtao-dev, no
maintainers for it in Debian.  It sounds to me like the first step is ...
find someone who wants to be libtao maintainer -- and openDDS maintainer,
too.

Hopefully, this is easier than convincing someone to go to the dentist.
