Hi Holger, Thank you for coordinating this effort. I'm not aware of any reason why the squeeze-lts packaging/version of tomcat6 wouldn't also be appropriate for wheezy. An updated tomcat-native package should also be part of the update; building 1.1.31-1 from testing/unstable on wheezy fine. (I just built both of these, the squeeze-lts tomcat6 + tomcat-native 1.1.31-1 on a wheezy chroot and ran them without any issue.) The Java Team is cc:d on this thread. Emmanuel has been in much closer contact with tomcat6 since this effort started, so he may have some input. Synopsis: Updating tomcat6 for squeeze-lts put us in the awkward position of having a newer tomcat in old-stable than in stable; Holger is helping to get this resolved. I am recommending that tomcat-native 1.1.31 accompany any updates to tomcat6 6.0.41. Cheers, tony
