Until recently most of our Tomcat installations were using the Red Hat distributed version. A version of Tomcat7 with Red Hat backporting security and important break fixes. Red Hat has moved their redistribution of Tomcat to another package other than the OS. A package that it has been decided not to buy. This means I have to support a number of applications that have upgraded to Tomcat9 and are using the Apache-Tomcat binary distribution. This presents me with a problem of how to remain current for security and break-fix updates without spending a lot of people’s time, mine included, regression testing applications.
Is there a long-term support version (LTS) where only break-fix and security changes are made, and feature enhancements go into the next LTS?
