jakarta-taglibs-standard: - The package builds fine, but needs libservlet3.0-java from universe (but that comes from tomcat7 itself, so there is a circular build dependency) - no CVE history - no initscripts, dbus, setuid, sudoers, fscaps or cron jobs - there appears to be some test data in standard/test but it doesn't appear to be used in the build - Ubuntu does carry a delta, but it is primarily for packaging cleanups and a patch to work with Java 7 - the Ubuntu server team is subscribed to the bug - there is a watch file - Upstream seems inactive. The upstream source has not changed in 8 years. It looks like the project name changed (http://tomcat.apache.org/taglibs/) and that since the name change there have been a few more commits with the last one 3 years ago. They have not released a new version under the new name - the current release is packaged - is lintian clean - debian/rules is reasonable - there are a couple of javac warnings during the build, but they look harmless as they fallback to something sane
While upstream seems inactive, that is not always a problem (the software could be mature and working properly for people) and it has a good security history. There is also the issue of the circular build dependency between tomcat7 and jakarta-taglibs-standard, but I don't think this is a blocker, but rather something to make note of. ACK (but please send the Ubuntu delta to Debian if you haven't already). ** Changed in: jakarta-taglibs-standard (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Changed in: tomcat7 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Changed in: tomcat7 (Ubuntu) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: jakarta-taglibs-standard (Ubuntu) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to jakarta-taglibs-standard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009579 Title: [MIR] tomcat7 (replaces tomcat6) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jakarta-taglibs-standard/+bug/1009579/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
