Ok, that's why an alternative build system which may help build on hesoterico-exotico OS is still good to take. end of story ;) >It's something I won't probably need in the future, and >_I_BELIEVE_ doesn't >affect our users community "at large", as frankly AFAIK you're >the only one >with one of those little nifty IBM machines I know). JF/Martin from ASF have also some interesting systems ;) There is many commiters on ASF who works directly on indirectly for IBM and use/contribute ASF projects. Not speaking about AS/400 techies from IBM Rochester Labs tracking tomcat-dev in silent mode, and I'd like to heard a little more (Walt, Jim be our guests). Tomcat is a server side application and AS/400 is not so exotic on server area. That's why it's so important to get it there. IBM use on AS/400, some of the latest ASF works, Apache 2.0, Tomcat (yes still 3.2.1, they need to upgrade their own mod_jk version to be able to use tomcat 3.3.1 or 4.0.3 since updates in headers in ajp13). I'm very happy using tomcat/apache2.0/jk on AS/400 instead of being limited to IBM own websphere. Having OSS on such 'closed' systems is a great victory of ASF.... >But at least I >replied...

I didn't have OS/X, and you know how I'll be happy to have one, so couldn't do anything to fix. >Now I'm wondering... What would have happened if I reported >the same bug for >Tomcat 3.3? :) :) :) :) Same problem that in 4.x and related question : - how many tomcat 3.3 developpers have access to OS/X ? - how many tomcat 4.x developpers have access to OS/X ? if the bug is a security problem, at least on one platform, it should be fixed and since you have access to such platform you may provide the fix. There was fix for windows platform not so long from that but it's clear that OS/X and AS/400 have a common problem today, less users/developpers than Unix or Windows.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
