PolyORB is a middleware implementation providing development tools and an
innovative runtime library architecture for collaboration of application
components using open standards for distributed systems.
Polyorb has to be carefully matched with its compiler. For the Ada
framework compiler, this means version "GPL 2012" despite "GPL 2013" being
available now. However, a Polyorb developer told me that GPL 2012 was a
bit unstable and recommended that I create a custom tarball from the
Adacore subversion repository using the last revision compatible with
gcc-aux. The approximate version number of 2.9 was adopted.
THis custom distfile is based on rev 201373 (23 Jan 2013).
The documentation from GPL 2012 was included in this new distfile rather
than embarking on the painful process of regenerating all 5 versions.
