https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D271993 Bug ID: 271993 Summary: www/tomcat9: consider renaming port to www/tomcat90 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: vvd@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michael.osipov@siemens.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(vvd@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: vvd@FreeBSD.org Hi, Tomcat committer here. I'd like to request the port maintainer to rename this port to www/tomcat90= . I will explain why this makes sense: * Tomcat follows a major.minor versioning scheme, this means that Tomcat 9.x and 9.y can live side by side for some time, as it happened with 8.0 and 8.= 5, see https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html * Tomcat 9.0 might likely be superseded with a newer minor version, see https://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg141663.html * Consistent with other Tomcat ports which are 'www/tomcat{major}{minor}' n= ow. * Deducing the port name from a full version is much easier then: $ printf '8.5.99\n9.0.100\n' | sed -E -e 's#^([[:digit:]]+)\.([[:digit:]]+).+$#\1\2#' 85 90 To make such change as little disruptive as possible, have the port name contain both, and modify only the patch version of Tomcat for a port update. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
