Good idea. The tcnative release notes didn't mention any incompatibility, but it's better to verify that the change is backwards compatible. I tested with tomcat6 currently in wheezy/sid and ran some requests through the server and it appears to be working fine: > Aug 24, 2012 5:25:23 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init > INFO: Loaded APR based Apache Tomcat Native library 1.1.24. > Aug 24, 2012 5:25:23 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init > INFO: APR capabilities: IPv6 [true], sendfile [true], accept filters [false], > random [true]. > Aug 24, 2012 5:25:24 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol init > INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 > Aug 24, 2012 5:25:24 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load > INFO: Initialization processed in 459 ms > Aug 24, 2012 5:25:24 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start > INFO: Starting service Catalina > Aug 24, 2012 5:25:24 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start > INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.35 The library is also working with the packaged version of tomcat7 7.0.28. Shall I push the packaging updates to SVN? (And prepare an upload for unstable too?) Thank you, tony
