Please remove tomcat5 from the archive

[Michael Koch]

Please remove tomcat5 from universe. Its not supported anymore upstream and superseded by tomcat5.5. There is also a removal request pending in Debian for it (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425296).

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Removal request ACKed.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Echoing Jeroen: "This breaks jspwiki and jetty. Please file bugs on those packages (RC for example) and see how they should migrate to tomcat5.5/6."

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

If those are obsolete as well, please create tasks for those, and we'll remove them, too.

[Michael Koch (konqueror)]

I'm currently preparing a patch for jspwiki to make it Depend on tomcat5.5. I will file a merge request when its ready.

For jetty, I'm unsure. Its unmainted in Debian since a long time, outdated and full of possible security issues. We should really update it the latest release. I will try to get this done too.
