Of the three RC bugs, one seems like the user has leftover files from a local
omniorb build and one (which is a year old) I believe is already fixed. I've
mailed comments to the BTS if you want more details.
This only leaves one RC bug (#112440) in which /etc/omniORB.cfg is half
preserved (ORBInitialPort) and half automatically generated (ORBInitialHost)
on each upgrade. Because of the way /etc/omniORB.cfg is selectively heeded,
ignored and/or overwritten at various times, I feel the best solution would
be to fix the port number, move omniORB.cfg out of /etc and remove its
conffile status. I'd rather the user know that they can't make changes than
have them *think* that they can make changes that will always be respected.
However, I am loathe to implement such a major modification in an NMU.
Ben.

The rebellion is not about what clothes you are wearing or whether
you turn your back to the audience - it's not about shocking for the shock's
sake. It's not about singing Smack My Bitch Up and pretending to be hard.
All you do is to get your name on K-Mart's black list. It easy, and boring.
So Prodigy, if you want to be hard, go to an abortion clinic and try to
help those girls who have had an abortion in a front of 20 shotguns. Try
to be rough and don't tell how you beat up your girlfriends, if you got
the balls to do that.
