Mark Wood commented on DS-618:
------------------------------
Hmmm, some confusion beginning. Prerequisite software and internal dependencies
are different classes of things. The POM controls the latter, the person
installing DSpace the former. We do need to review both regularly.
Good point that OS distributions are another factor in making a realistic
recommendation. I think we want to avoid both dusty old versions that don't
admit of much help, and versions so new that they aren't yet stabilized on
packaged OSes.
The wiki may not be the best place for a table of versions, though, unless we
keep adding new tables for new versions. If we just edit the table to fit our
best judgment at the time of DSpace x.y, sites which still run earlier versions
will have to hunt through the history to try to figure out which revision of
the document is accurate for their installation.

> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Mark Wood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.7
>
>
> We still recommend at least "PostgreSQL 7.3 or 7.4". 7.4 is now seven years
> old and losing maintainer support next month (or so). By December only 8.2
> and up will be supported.
> Sun Java 5 SE reaches its End Of Service Life in October 2010.
> Maven 2.2 is current. We might recommend at least 2.0.11 (the current "older
> release") rather than 2.0.8.
> Tomcat 4 is positively ancient and definitely unsupported by its maintainers.
> Even 5.0 is too old for help. 5.5 should be our minimum recommendation.
> Please discuss.
