The cruft report for unstable will look *very* different due to 6.0.41-3 being a *radically* different package. > tomcat6 (6.0.41-3) unstable; urgency=medium > > * Build only the libservlet2.5-java and libservlet2.5-java-doc packages. > Tomcat 6 will not be supported in Jessie, but the Servlet API is still > useful as a build dependency for other packages. > * Standards-Version updated to 3.9.6 (no changes) > > -- Emmanuel Bourg <ebo...@apache.org> Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:48:54 +0200 The decision/requirement to remove tomcat6 from jessie has been requested by the Security team for quite a while, and the 6.0.41-3 source upload effectively does this by just building libservlet2.5-java (without which we would have many packages with missing r-deps). I not sure I understand all of the ramifications of the statement I'm about to make, but for the purposes of squeeze and wheezy, we need to consider 6.0.41-2 as the last version of a "complete" tomcat6 source package. tony
