Milestone Port Bugs deleted

[s052655@…]

I have the same problem and I really need to get Tomcat 5.5 to work! Is there a workaround?

Actually I just have "---> Building tomcat5" and not "with target download dist compat". Is there a difference?

And does "Milestone Port Bugs deleted" mean that the ticket is not treated as an active bug anymore?

Sorry if it is the wrong place to ask, I'm new here. / Johan

Does the patch attached to this ticket work for you?

[s052655@…]

I have now tried the patch and unfortunately I still get the same error!

I had to remove the first half of the patch (diff file) since my servlet24-api port already was at 5.5.27 with the correct checksum (eb3f196013550b9b1684e4ff18593a8e).

I applied the modified patch by "sudo patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/tomcat5_mod.diff" while standing in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release, did a "sudo port clean --all tomcat5", manually checked that the tomcat5 portfile was correctly updated and finally did a "sudo port install tomcat5". I got the same error in return just with the newer tomcat5 version (5.5.27) and with one difference (which I don't remember if were there before I applied the patch).. I have:

Command output: [echo] Testing for /opt/local/share/java/commons-launcher.jar

instead of .../java/commons-httpclient.jar as in the Ticket description. I don't know if it matters.

tomcat5: delete outdated and EOL port

Port has been outdated as early as 2008.

Tomcat5 was end-of-lifed in 2012,
and may have security issues
only addressed in later Tomcat versions.

Closes: #14222
Closes: #25740
