Then I fear we actually have to package Tomcat 7, not Tomcat 6. Well actually Tomcat doesn't use the usual versionning scheme. ie version n doesn't deprecate version n-1. Instead each version is the implementation of a version of the Servlet/JSP specifications. The Tomcat team provides this table: http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html Users can refer to it when trying to figure out which Tomcat version they should use depending on the Servlet/JSP their webapp uses. That is why you won't find any upstream info on which tomcat version is the stable one that should be used in any case. FYI the first stable Tomcat 7 version (7.0.6) went out 3 days ago (stable here means the dev team didn't call it -beta nor -alpha): http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/ This is also why I would be in favor of keeping tomcat 5.5 in an official repo. What about Tomcat 7? -- Guillaume signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[arch-dev-public] Update tomcat from 5.5 to 6.0?
Hi everyone, User servernyc (gmail) flagged extra/tomcat as out-of-date and asked: where is tomcat 6? any reason for 5.5 still? I unflagged it as our tomcat package is currently from the 5.5 branch and is up to date on its branch but still his question is relevant. I think it is high time to make the move. Both branches 5.5 [0] and 6 [1] are widely used and considered stable. (I am currently working on both tomcat 5.5 and tomcat 6.0 packages built from source with dependencies extracted) So the feature request is Update tomcat from 5.5 to 6.0. Has anyone got something against it? If no-one has, how to proceed regarding package names? - Rename tomcat to tomcat5? (careful because the 5.0 branch existed [2]) OR - Rename tomcat to tomcat5.5? AND - Use tomcat for 6.0 branch? OR - Create tomcat6 for 6.0 branch?
