Re: contrib directory

I've requested a project named "tomcat-launcher", leaving the 
"tomcat-contrib" open, on SourceForge.
It runs on Apache 2.0 License. I'll send a notification whether it would 
be approved or not.

Best regards,

Commit access requires a unix account on a machine, at least for cvs. 
Even if this could be solved - there are non-technical problems, ASF

Ant has an ant-contrib project on sourceforge ( including few ant

Re: contrib directory

2004-11-01 Thread Leslie Kishalmi
Dear all,
 I've walked almost the same path with OS/2 on the NetBeans side as Meg 
with OpenVMS. A new sourceforge project could be a working idea. As then 
both TomCat and maybe "tomcat-contrib" would be a third-party stuff for 
NetBeans. So we might convince them to include this into their release 
(4.1 earliest).

I'm sorry again. If you wish to use os2-ecomstation as a directory name, 
then I have to update my launchers again. The last set of launchers were 
prepared for contrib/os2 directory. This is important, as NetBeans IDE 
uses TomCat as an embedded WebContainer, and there is a
bug which is depend on these launchers, so they should be executable 
from their original (jakarta) location.
So what to do next? Shall I update the launchers again using 
os2-ecomstation directory, or you change the directory name to os2?

If you want it placed in an os2 directory, that's OK, I'll go ahead and

and by OS seemed reasonable.  Since your contrib sayd OpenVMS-alpha,
that's where I put them. 

 

Hi Yoav,
 Have I missed something? I think there is a misunderstanding here.
I've seen the GNU-Linux and OpenVMS-alpha directories under bin/contrib. 
That's ok.
So I think someone else were also contributing some OS specific 
launchers for GNU-Linux and
OpenVMS-alpha. That's ok.
 I support a set of launchers for OS/2, a third operating system. So 
it's not a modification of OpenVMS-alpha.

This *exactly* is the sort of discussion I didn't want to have.  We'll
put them in a contrib directory, that's it.  If the scripts make
assumptions about their environment, it's up to the user to modify them
or move them around accordingly.  I don't want to be maintaining these,
and I don't want to be committing fixes to them all the time.  As it is
already I was 51% in favor, 49% against including them in Tomcat in the
first place.

Subject: OS/2 Launchers in 5.0.29?
Dear all,
I've filed http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31361 ,
asking for adding OS/2 launchers to the tomcat distribution nearly a
month ago. I've also prepared the full set of launchers. I've seen that
5.0.29 is coming out. Can't add the OS/2 launchers to it. I'm know that
OS/2 is not officially supported by the TomCat team, but I would. It
also would help to support NetBeans Web Development on OS/2. I also
think those launchers won't break anything.
Thanks,
  Laszlo Kishalmi

Thanks for your quick reply!
 Let see. Cant we create a contrib directory under bin (or under the 
catalina root itself) it would contain some readme which says these 
stuff are officially not supported. Then comes some subdirectories per 
OS and place the launchers there.
For a normal user the name of "contrib" is enough to mark those stuff 
"AS IS" without official support.

Hi,
We've seen your enhancement submission -- thank you for that.  We have
several others along the same lines, for different operating systems.
The question is where to put them such that it's clear to everyone we
don't support them.  I don't know the answer to that question, so I've
asked on this list, and apparently no one else knows or cares that much.
So we're at a standstill.  Don't hold your breath ;)
