Hi all,
Sorry to be a bit late to the party, but in response to some indirect dependencies being
orphaned I've taken the opportunity to clean up the Tomcat package a little. I have
removed the following "features" from tomcat:
1) I dropped the "examples" webapp from Tomcat, which is recommended by the
Security Considerations page of the upstream project anyway. This removed our dependency
on the tomcat-taglibs-standard package.
2) Due to changes in the javapackages-local package (%add_maven_depmap was finally
removed), I dropped the maven pom files from the tomcat packages as I feel that their
usefulness is limited anyway. If you need to use the poms, Maven Central should work.
3) I've removed the tomcat-jsvc subpackage from the distribution as it isn't very
useful either. This removes our dependency on the apache-commons-daemon package. This also
removed the logrotate config that was offered since it was used within the tomcat-jsvc
package.
4) Dropped geronimo-saaj (aka jakarta-saaj) as it's no longer required by Tomcat 9+.
5) Dropped geronimo-jaxrpc (aka jakarta-xml-rpc), which provided the webservices naming
factory resources that are generally unused. This was only a build time dependency, so it
wasn't used at runtime (unless users were explicitly installing it for their webapp).
If anyone has issues with these changes, please let me know ASAP.
It looks like 2) is causing problems with resteasy, and in turn
pki-core and dogtag-pki (FreeIPA components):
nothing provides mvn(org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-servlet-api) needed by
pki-resteasy-core
resteasy is built with maven and depends on tomcat, so the pom files
are actually needed ...
