Where's Tomcat 7 pacakge for Opensuse 12.1?

English Applications
#1

I need to re-install up-to-date Tomcat7 for Opensuse 12.1.

I can’t find it in the repositories anywhere.

This

  http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Upcoming_features#Apache_Tomcat_7

Says

  Apache Tomcat 7
  New major version of popular servlet container has been added to openSUSE. It implements the Servlet 3.0 and JavaServer Pages 2.2 and many more.
  As we maintain only one major version of Apache Tomcat in openSUSE, tomcat6 has been dropped. In addition we dropped the jpackage.org naming scheme we have used for last couple of years (tomcat5, tomcat55, tomcat6) to emphasize this fact. So tomcat 7 (and all future version upgrades) is packaged as tomcat.

This

  http://software.opensuse.org/package/tomcat

only shows it’s available for “Opensuse Factory” and “Fedora 16”.

This

  https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=tomcat&project=openSUSE%3AFactory

says

  Developed at Java:packages

and this,

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=tomcat&project=Java%3Apackages

says Building for Opensuse 12.1 is disabled.

Hi
That would be a question you need to ask the maintainer/bug owner;
https://build.opensuse.org/project/users?project=Java%3Apackages

I contacted the maintainer & bugowner ‘mvyskocil’ from here.

Hallo,

I have disabled the build to save some build power for jdk7 transition. As it’s now finished, I will enable 12.1 as well. There is only one drawback as packages now expect jdk7 and I have no idea if they will work with jdk6, so I will add java-1_7_0-openjdk to repo.

Thanks for the answer!

I already use

    rpm -qa | grep -i jdk
        java-1_7_0-openjdk-demo-1.7.0.0_147-14.1.x86_64
        java-1_7_0-openjdk-javadoc-1.7.0.0_147-14.1.x86_64
        java-1_7_0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.0_147-14.1.x86_64
        java-1_7_0-openjdk-src-1.7.0.0_147-14.1.x86_64
        java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.0_147-14.1.x86_64

installed from this repo

    http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/openjdk6:/Factory/openSUSE_12.1

Will I need to change that source of the jdk to some other repo to use ‘this’ tomcat?

#6

As it’s now finished, I will enable 12.1 as well

I checked here for it,

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=tomcat&project=Java%3Apackages

and it still says “unresolvable” for the tomcat package.

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place for this? Is the ‘new’ package moved somewhere else?

#7

Hallo,

no, you’ve looked at the right place. The unresolvable was because all Factory packages now expects jdk7, which I built yesterday for 12.1 in Java:openjdk6:Factory. I’ve added it to 12.1 repository and triggered the complete rebuild. If nothing bad happens, tomcat will be available in a few hours. If not, please ask me again as this is not on my TOP list.
