Howdy, list! I've got a server hosting a proprietary Java application which runs on tomcat8, so that server has continued running debian 9/stretch. But debian 9 is now, with the debian 11/bullseye release, going EOL, and running public-facing services on EOLed software is bad ju-ju.
So I need to upgrade the server to debian 10/buster, which no longer includes tomcat8, and internal testing indicates that this application doesn't work on tomcat9. Does anyone know of a third-party repo which offers a tomcat8 built for debian 10? (And, yes, I know the correct answer is to tell the application developer to get their act together and support a more recent version of tomcat. But we're paying them an obscene amount of money to license their software, and they follow IBM's precedent of "the more money you pay us, the less we have to listen to you".) -- Dave Sherohman
