Description David Knox 2010-10-27 17:23:18 UTC

Description of problem:
Tomcat bugfixes and security patches are currently based on tomcat5.5.30 (5.5.31 is the current stable community version). Applying patches meant for 5.5.30+ to 5.5.23 has increased in difficulty and introduces more risk of unwanted side-effects. The difficulty and risk continues to increase without a rebase. The additional bugfixes over 7 minor revs, and reduced risk of patching warrant an update to 5.5.30 is worth the effort.

Note: This update is not proposed for 5.5.z build unless our z-stream customers are specifically asking for it. But, the difficulty in patching the z-stream tomcat5 code base will continue to increase. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tomcat 5.5.23

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-11 20:48:18 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-12 15:15:50 UTC

This request was erroneously denied for the current release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.  The error has been fixed and this
request has been re-proposed for the current release.

Comment 3 David Knox 2011-02-17 17:48:28 UTC

Updated the tc version to 5.5.33. Tomcat 5.5.23 is unsupportable because all security patches in the future will be based on 5.5.33. which is the current stable community release. The tc 5.5.23 is unsupported by the community.
