Hi,

when trying to build Tomcat-5.0.7 from scratch behind a firewall (using
http proxy) build fails due to missing commons-daemon:

Environment: Linux (SuSE 8.2)


[echo] ========== Building: commons-daemon


BUILD FAILED
/home/jan/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.7-src/src/jakarta-tomcat-5/build.xml:485:
Basedir
/home/jan/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.7-src/src/jakarta-commons-sandbox/daemon
does not exist


The problem is that commons-daemon is neither part of the Tomcat-5.0.7-src nor is it available as a release from http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons/ but has to be downloaded as a nightly build from http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-daemon/ which means the filename changes and has to be built dynamically within build.xml

To make Tomcat-5.0.7 build.xml work when proxy.use=on either build.xml
has to be modified to download commons-daemon and unzip it into the
Tomcat-source-dir or commons-daemon has to be included into the
Tomcat-5.0.7-src.

Making commons-daemon available as a release at
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons/ or setting a symbolic link
like commons-daemon-current.tar.gz would of course reduce the effort
because the filename wouldn't have to be build dynamically.

Which solution is suggested ?

Making a release of commons-daemon would be the best. I am working on it... But very slowly :-(


Best regards,


Jan
