Hello, We've running many instances of Tomcat 8.5 on some dozens of linux servers. All of this is being managed by Puppet using the puppetforge tomcat module.
The Puppet module that deploys tomcat simple checks to see if the NOTICE file is the correct place to determine whether or not it should unpack a provided tarball into Catalina_home. My question is this - as we've gone and placed our catalina_base folder within a subfolder of catalina_home, we're not going to want to simply delete the C_H folder to reinstall a newer version. Is it safe/sane to unpack a new minor release (say 8.5.40) over the existing installation of (8.4.32) over an existing Catalina_Home? Or should I simply bite the bullet, rework my puppet code to deploy the instances outside of Catalina_Home and wipe C_H before redeploying it with a newer version?
