dogtag-pki needs porting work for tomcat 8.5

[Matthias Klose]

dogtag-pki needs porting work for tomcat8, demoting to proposed for now, plus the freeipa dependency.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

upstream hasn't started working on it yet, will take months

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

well, you could package an older tomcat version as a legacy package

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

I don't understand what this bug is about and how you have determined that porting work is required. dogtag-pki build-depends on libtomcat8-java, and has built successfully. There appears to be an autopkgtest problem on armhf, but that is not the issue you reported here.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

It built against old tomcat 8.0.x, but tomcat 8.5 got synced and dogtag (& tomcatjss) fail to build with it. I've packaged tomcat8.0 as a separate source package and it's in the archive now. Next I'll modify tomcatjss & dogtag-pki to use it. Tomcat8.0 will be removed before 18.04 releases, which is also when it is expected upstream has finished porting these..

removed the block-proposed tag

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please forgive my tardiness it is my first time posting on this ticketing system.

I am trying to get freeIPA to work on Ubuntu 18.04 daily build (upgraded to latest packages). This bug is a mayor blocker for our use of freeIPA on Ubuntu 18.04. My questions are brief will dogtags-pki make the release? Can the tomcat 8.0.32 packages be made available as part of the release? Or via Backports?

For completeness:

1. I am running the latest beta packages:
