https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tomcat9 so 9.0.16. It's available in the stable branch trough backport repository (stable branch never get new major version directly). > > BTW I also noticed that https://packages.debian.org/sid/tomcat8 doesn’t exist > anymore. It’s been removed? This link is in our doc at > https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SupportStrategy/ServletContainerSupportStrategy/ This is the URL for sid only which is the unstable branch. Not really sure if it's like this on purpose or if it's a mistake but it will continue to be available for a very long time in the stable branch for sure anyway. On Tomcat side there is no date announced for 8.5.x end of life. > > Thanks > -Vincent > > > > > > Here is my +1 > > -- > > Thomas Mortagne > -- Thomas Mortagne
