I agree with Costin's suggestion to remove the Apache 2.0
version of mod_jk from jakarta-tomcat for Tomcat 3.3.
This would occur after any bug fixes missing from
jakarta-tomcat-connectors were ported.
It makes much more sense to have it live only in
jakarta-tomcat-connectors where it can quickly respond
to changes. I don't plan much maintenance on the connectors
once Tomcat 3.3 is released.
VOTE:
[ ] +1 REMOVE: Apache 2.0 mod_jk should be removed from
jakarta-tomcat for Tomcat 3.3
[ ] -1 KEEP: Apache 2.0 mod_jk should be kept in
jakarta-tomcat for Tomcat 3.3
My vote is +1.
Cheers,
Larry
