libtomcat6-java rdeps: jbossas4
Hi all,
jbossas4 depends indirectly on libtomcat6-java through
libjboss-remoting-java. I haven't been able to patch
libjboss-remoting-java to work with libtomcat7-java. Should we consider
removing jbossas4 and its related packages? This is a rather old version
of JBoss (2008), I'm not even sure it works properly (#465596) and it
has a low popcon (<80).
The only non JBoss packages affected are excalibur-logger and
libspring-security-2.0-java, but that should be easily fixable by
excluding the related classes.
The other packages depending on jbossas4 are:
libjboss-cache1-java
libjboss-cache2-java
libjboss-cache3-java
libjboss-integration-java
libjboss-j2ee-java
libjboss-aop-java
libjboss-deployers-java
libjboss-classloader-java
libjboss-xml-binding-java
libjboss-microcontainer-java
libhibernate-jbosscache-java
How should we proceed? Should we raise the severity of #465596 and
prevent jbossas4 from entering testing, or do we request a removal of
these packages?
