Re: Jetty packages are on it's way

Why not simply depend on libtomcat4-java? Is it that big a package?

It's a bit strange having Jetty depend on libtomcat - simply
from a naming perspective.   Kind of like having postgres depend
on mysql.

There is also may be a good reason to split out jasper, from
a versioning point of view - as there are many users that wish
to stick with old jasper1 (for assorted bad reasons) and they
may also wish to do so when the next upgrade to the 1.2 JSP spec.

tomcat4 just activates all webapps in this directory when it's started. Other servlet engines can do the same.

Will the Jetty package need to indicate that it conflicts with the
tomcat package - so that it two copies of each webapp do not get
started (and both servers try to grab port 80 or 8080).

Maybe the installation scripts should try to detect other servlet
servers installed and offer an option not to auto start?

cheers
