This is something we aim for in Debian 13. For now 1.2.35 should work just fine
despite the warning.

We will remove Tomcat 9 in the near future because we can support only one
version. I guess we can rename libtcnative-1 to just libtcnative instead of
creating a new libtcnative-2 package. I'm sure we will make a decision after
the freeze.

Bug#1034492: libtcnative-1: Tomcat warning suggesting a minimum version of 2.0.1 for tcnative

[Jorge Moraleda]

Package: libtcnative-1
Version: 1.2.35-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jorge.moral...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

When running tomcat 10 (installed from default bookworm repo) it warns that "An
older version [1.2.35] of the Apache Tomcat Native library is installed, while
Tomcat recommends a minimum version of [2.0.1]"

I feel debian should package a version of tc-native equals or newer than the
recommendation of the packaged tomcat version.

I wonder if we tomcat 9 still requires version 1.x of tcnative, which means
debian should package both libtcnative-1 and a libtcnative-2, or if the latest
tcnative 2 would suffice for both tomcat 9 and tomcat 10, and then we might
want to drop the 1 in the tcnative package name and just package the latest 2.x
version under that name.

Thank you.
