Xin, >> Is there any objection against removal of these ports: >> www/jakarta-tomcat4 >> www/jakarta-tomcat5 >> They not only employ an old naming scheme (Tomcat no longer falls >> under Jakarta), but they also seem to be outdated. > > Sounds reasonable to me. A simple grep over INDEX shows that > extsm-1.0_1 (www/extsm) depends on jakarta-tomcat5, though, so we > should take these into account. Good thinking. While doing some research I found that there are loads of security issues with the 4.0.x port anyway: http://tomcat.apache.org/security-4.html So IMHO the 4.0.x port should be abandoned ASAP. Ernst
