I noticed it fetches from the v4.0.3/bin/ release, and not the source. While I suppose there's little difference in the ultimate byte code, and getting v4.0.x/bin saves time, it would be nice to have the src as well. (Building from source is of course more difficult; there are more dependencies; perhaps this is a later update to the port.) A few picky comments; feel free to ignore completely: -- Am I mistaken that in pkg-descr, it should say that Tomcat 4 is the reference implementation of the 2.3 (not just 2.2) specification? -- I know tomcat does not ship with a manager entry for tomcat-users.xml, but would it make sense to just comment out all the superfluous users? I think it's safe as is, but I've always liked that bsd does just a little more. -- Likewise, should the TOMCAT/conf/server.xml be swapped with the noexamples version? Users can do this by hand of course, and should always take charge of their installations. But I've always liked that BSD takes a conservative approach to default installs. -- Should the default install set the <Logger> directory be to "logs" in TOMCAT/logs, or perhaps something in /var/log/tomcat? Again, users can change but what's the preference? (I suggest /var/log/tomcat since it might be on a different spindle, or faster, better managed/archived, since other apps write to this central place.) What a wonderful port; thanks for doing this! My comments were merely meant to get ideas. Ignore them if I've overlooked something. -- David Dagon dagon@cc.gatech.edu Georgia Institute of Technology To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
