Tomcate 5.0.x

2007-05-09 Thread Martijn Kint / True

L.S,

Hi guys! I'm having some trouble with a client of mine who insists on 
that Tomcat 5.0.28 is stable and 5.0.30 isn't. The problem is that I 
can't install 5.0.28 from Apt as we only have 5.0.30-11 available.


Could you please provide me with some ammo why you guys chose 5.0.30 
instead? Maybe you guys backported some patches from the .28 tree?


I want to be able to install Tomcat from Apt and rather not compile it 
myself :)

Backported? 5.0.28 is older then 5.0.30. 5.0.30 includes some additional
fixes 5.0.28 does not include. For specifics look at the diff between
both versions. In additition we added one or two patches too.

5.0.x series is not really supported anymore in upstream. Debian does
still support it. But only 5.0.30 in Etch.


Cheers,
Michael

I think, I know why the customer means this: the download page from Tomcat
[1] lists only 5.0.30-beta and 5.0.28.

This said, I don't know how to convince your customer that the Debian
version is stable enough for his purposes.

Just tell him that OpenSource betas are more stable than many commercial
releases ;-)
More seriously, you could try to argue that beta doesn't mean unstable, it
just means that the product has not been completely tested; and the fact
that it reached etch/stable means that it has been tested and that it's
stable enough for Debian standards, which are knowingly high.

Hope this helps, Eric
