I now that for example Debian and Fedore do not support sun-jdk at all |
11 |
because they can offer only free as in freedom software. The free java |
12 |
is still months or years away from supporting 1.4. Tomcat 5.5 of course |
13 |
is something that we should get to the main tree. It has been sitting in |
14 |
the java experimental tree for quite a while. One of the reasons Tomcat |
15 |
5.5 has not progressed is that our Tomcat maintainer disappeared a while |
16 |
ago. I think Debian only recently added Tomcat 4 to main or something |
17 |
like that. |
