Hi all,

we have been using CORBA::ORBit successfully for several years now. 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 !

Cheers,

Mark
