Re: Maintain 7.1.x branch (was [CANCEL] [VOTE] Apache TomEE 7.1.5)

+1 on spending time to finish EE9 compliance and work on EE10 + MicroProfile Patching CXF with patch plugin will probably not get the report better because the jar file will be the same with the same version. Even if we can maintain a list of fixed CVE using this approach, we'll have to exclude th

Hi all, I see your point, David. If we announce something EOL (which is quite a „hard“ thing in terms of the ASF), we might loose potential volunteers, who might want to maintain and contribute by patching and/or fixing 3rd party vulnerabilities by forking. I like the idea of labeling something „

My general thoughts on this are: * While I understand the desire for a patched release, forking the CXF project feels like a lot of work, particularly if we're only looking to do one final release from this branch. I personally would prefer to spend my time working on Jakarta EE 9/10 support and M

Hi. I often use website like https://endoflife.date/tomcat to know if I really must upgrade. Very useful to know the status of projects. I feel I’m not the only one using it and people could have a use for TomEE out there, let it be marked as EOL or inactive. Swell On Wed 3 Aug 2022 at 08:48, J

Yeah if users want to maintain and fix third party libraries, I'm fine with that and I'm also fine to do a release when it's ok. Inactive is fine. We just need to find something and document it on our website. -- Jean-Louis Monteiro http://twitter.com/jlouismonteiro http://www.tomitribe.com On T

My personal perspective is that if there are people who want to focus their time on 7.1.x (option B), I’m happy to let them. They would need to do a complete job however (I.e. not option A). That said, if I had to do the work it’d be option C, D, or E. My discomfort with labeling something EOL i

Hi Richard, I vote (non-binding) for option B, i.e. releasing a TomEE 7.1.5 with patched CVEs and annoucing that this will be the last one of 7.1.x series and that users must have a plan to migrate to 8.0.x (or 9.0.x when it'll be released). Thanks, Alex Le mar. 2 août 2022 à 20:19, Richard Zowa

Hi all, thanks for the thread, JL! Sorry, a bit longer than anticipated ;) As promised in the other thread, I took a look at the grype scan results. While were are many false positives (mostly related to the Geronimo specs and ActiveMQ), there are indeed some CVEs of interest: - cxf - tomcat (wi

Hi all, Don't want to hijack the other thread, so starting a new one based on the discussion. I don't think releasing a "last 7.1.x" version with CVEs would be of > any good I join Alex on this one. Does it really make sense to release a TomEE app server with known CVEs? I'm not arguing on the
