Hi

As per http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2007/06/msg00009.html we
should be preparing for the python2.5 transition.  python-omniorb2 needs
to be upgraded to version 3.0 for this as it is an extension module and
the exceptions have changed in C.  This also depends on the upgrade of
omniorb4 to version 4.1 but there's a separate bug filed for that.

Attached is the .diff.gz against the upstream omniORBpy-3.0 tarball that
does the required work.  It fixes most of python-omniorb2's outstanding
bugs and should only need minor changes for adoption in Debian itself.

There are however a few issues that I did not manage to solve yet, but
they do not seem to have an inpact on the functionality of
python-omniorb2, at least on x86.  Notably lintian still complains about
a library file not being compiled with -fPIC.  But as said I failed to
solve that for now.

I hope this will help a speedy upgrade of python-omniorb2.  Feel free to
contact me if you're unhappy with this or if I messed up something etc.
I'm willing to help keep omniorb in good shape.

Regards
Floris
