Package: tomcat4 Version: 4.1.31-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
hi,
I guess the reason there is no tomcat5 in debian is the one requires jdk1.5 to compile, and as there is no one packaged in debian too... am I right?
if so, maybe my suggestion will be handy:
I suggest to package tomcat5 source code into package tomcat5-src, add debianized build scripts and package the ones into tomcat5-package or into the same tomcat5-src. add to both or only tomcat5-package dependency to sun-jdk1.5 and there we go :)
installation procedure could be:
1) apt-get install java-package
2) download sun's binary jdk1.5 java distribution, build sun-jdk1.5 package, and install the one
3) apt-get install tomcat5-src tomcat5-package
4) build tomcat5 and all other packages, and install the ones we need
tomcat5-src package can have some scripts to suggest user rebuild tomcat5 packages upon upgrade, if tomcat5 packages are found to be installed...
