Sorry, I missed that and I actually voted +1 on that revision, so I'll shut up and live with i64. Pretty sure sometime in the future I will have forgotten the discussion and stumble again over the unusual choice of name and might ask about it again. > The only place where the name is important is this line in tomcat.nsi: > + StrCmp $0 "IA64" 0 +3 Sure. It was more of an issue for us working with the directories and file names etc. giving them reasonable names in den land. > It is also present as a subdirectory of /bin in the *.zip and *.tgz > distributives. Yes, and that's why I was putting focus on the testing topic. I saw, that the tomcat6.exe file was put in a new dir and wanted to make sure, it's use is adjusted accordingly. Now I see, that the nsi changes cope with that. All fine, sorrry for the noise. > If we backport the second part of rev.791699 - the separate zips for > different windows CPU architectures, there wouldn't be such > subdirectories, but "i64" will be in the name of the archive.

In this case, name to be seen by users, I have some strong feelings for ia64 instead of i64. I thought that's the standard used for the Itanium architecture. Is there any official or pseudo-official of i64 in the wild? Short googling didn't reveal anything useful on i64 and Itanium. > I understand, that we have 9 hours left before the "12 pm MST" > deadline that Filip stated. > I already tested it on my 32-bit WinXP system, and it builds, installs > and runs OK. > > I plan to also test it on Vista 64-bit (x86-64), but I have yet to > reach that place. > > I do not have an IA64 system. Yeah, maybe Mladen can jump in, but I think Itanium support for TC 6 is not that critical, so we can go a slightly higher risk of breaking things. Thanks a lot for your explanation, and sorry that I didn't first read the original patch.
