But some people try hard to make them current ! :)
That is good to hear!
Tomcat 7.0.52 is in Debian unstable [1] and I plan to backport it to the
stable distribution which is stuck with 7.0.28 + security fixes. The
package for Tomcat 8 is ready [2] and will be uploaded once EasyMock has
been upgraded.
I like the way the debian/ubuntu package installs, but I moved away from
7.0.28 a very long time ago. My present strategy is to build my
preferred version (currently 7.0.52) from source, then deploy it to
replace the 7.0.28 specific content. Using CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE as recommended by the tc-devs certainly makes this
approach less painful.
As you will have noticed already, the main responders on the tc-users
list have learned the hard way that it is difficult to help people who
are stuck on an obsolete version because they took the "safe and easy"
option to install their O/S distribution maintainer's "stable" package.
If you need some help (perhaps QA testing), please let me know.
Thanks for the work so far, and the good intentions!
