Can't we change libtomcat6-java and libtomcat7-java to keep those jars in /usr/share/tomcat6/ and /usr/share/tomcat7/ instead of /usr/share/java/ ?
Having tomcat6 and tomcat7 on the same machine is a very common use case for Java developers. And eschewing The Eclipse Way in favor of The Debian Way is a very common use case for long time Debian users. :) Cheers, thanks, --Dave p.s. When the second tomcat is installed, the service will fail to start because port 8080 is in use by the first one. I vote to leave that behavior as-is. (Java devs will not see this as a problem.) We only need to ensure that 'failing to start the service' doesn't result in 'failing to finish package installation'. (We're probably already safe on that?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
