It fails to build from source in Fedora 19. Tomcat 7 has only 1 unresolved bug and no security issues. Most of packages are already using Tomcat 7, those who are not could be fixed without much problem. I definitely think that Tomcat 6 should be deprecated. -- Mikolaj Izdebski -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
