Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-05-09 08:31:49 UTC
tomcat6-lib is bundling apache-commons-dbcp, an external library.

According to Fedora Java Packaging Guidelines this is unacceptable. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Pre-built_JAR_files_.2F_Other_bundled_software

Please remove this library from packaging and add it as external dependency.

Comment 1 Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-03-14 14:38:41 UTC
Package tomcat6 has been deprecated in Fedora 19 and later.
I am closing this bug as WONTFIX.

For more information why tomcat6 was deprecated see:
