I just has been affected by this now. I was to updated a fleet of
old VMs with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Tomcat 7 to Debian 12 with
Tomcat 9 .
I know that the remove tomcat9 packages was done on December of
2023 and that this was decided a long time ago. But I think that
nobody has stopped to consider that you cannot simply migrate
from Tomcat 9 to 10 (inserte here meme), because the
javax.* to jakarta.* packages problem. The changes needed to move
a web application from javax to jackarte aren't simple to do.
Specially when 3rd party java libraries, aren't migrated yet
to jakarta packages ( for example Apache Commons Email ). I
really hope that someone could reconsider to keep both Tomcat 9
and Tomcat 10 on Debian 12. If some help it's needed to do this, I
could help (however I don't have idea how to do this).
I choose Debian instead of keeping using Ubuntu server, because
the well know stability of Debian (plus I HATE Canonical weird
things and forcing snap on everything) and I don't expected this
kind of changes inside a stable version. I was expecting that
Tomcat 9 would be removed in Debian 13, specially when I first
configured our Debian 12 virtual machine template, Tomcat 9 was
yet there.
PD: Sorry, if I write something that sounds weird on English, this
isn't my mother language.
