polyorb for Debian
------------------

The current Debian package supports the following personalities:

Application Personalities
=========================

  * CORBA
  * DSA
  * MOMA

Protocol Personalities
======================

  * GIOP

We will try to provide additional personalities in the future.


Limitations
-----------

CORBA SSLIOP and TLS security services are disabled for now, because they are
based on OpenSSL. OpenSSL's license is incompatible with the GPL, therefore it
is illegal to distribute a binary package of GPL'd software linked with OpenSSL
in Debian. We'll try to replace OpenSSL-based SSL/TLS with gnutls in the future.

The DSA polyorb personality uses project "extends" keywords when the -P option
is given to po_gnatdist. According to bug #559447 this leads to errors, the
extends seems to "hide" the withed project in the user project file. DSA is
still functional, one only needs to pass source PATHs using the -I option.
