I presume the packages "tomcat5" and > "tomcat6" were named that way to enable parallel installation. Now for tomcat 7 > and greater will this not be possible? this doesn't change anything really, I asked about it so we have a default tomcat(latest version) which people can depend on and not care whether it's 5,6 or 7. But this doesn't stop people from creating tomcat7 package once the main tomcat package goes to e.g. version 8. Though I don't believe that there will be people interested in doing this as tomcat5 is not really maintained and I had to keep it working/building just because of packages depending on it but nobody touching the tomcat5. I spent long enough time on this issue to make me sure that we need one tomcat that everyone depends on and only people really knowing they need some other version depending on versioned compat tomcat. This way we can leave them maintain and not have the Java SIG spend time on them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
