Most recently, we migrated our application servers to 64 bit machines. Unfortunately this broke CORBA::ORBit, both the official CPAN version, and the one extracted from the gnome cvs servers. Before diving into the code, I checked with the original author of the module (Owen Taylor) who confirmed me he did not maintain the module anymore (which I suspected after reading the latest posts on this mailing list). Today, I apparently solved the main issues by tweaking (hacking ?) the marshalling/unmarshalling code: our CORBA apps seem to run smoothly again= . Some organizational issues remain however, which I list here in no specific order : - who is the official maintainer of the module (if there still is one) ? - would anybody be intersted in the patches I made ? - if so how do I commit my changes into the repository ? - are there still people using this module ? - should I switch to pyorbit ? (OK, this one's to check if you've not fallen asleep :D) Any comments welcomed !
