This new port installs Jakarta-Tomcat 4.0 Release Fix: Notes: The port requires jdk1.2.2 at the very least, but allows the installer to define JAVA_HOME to determine just which java-vm to use with the port. How-To-Repeat: N/A

It seems your .tar.gz file is actually a tar file :-) == Ernst <ernst@jollem.com>
This port is missing a dependency ( /usr/ports/devel/pinstall ) and you should have used portlint to check the port, because your RUN_DEPENDS needs to appear higher up in the file... :-) But I would love to see a Tomcat port. Perhaps you can take a look at the www/orion port to see how you can improve the value of your port by installing something like a tomcatctl script, add a man page, make sure Tomcat4 does not conflict with Tomcat3, Apache, Orion, etc by making sure the HTTP server listens at a different port (suggestion: 9040 or so). == Ernst <ernst@jollem.com>

Yeah, I'd considered the port conflict, but had decided that people who had been using tomcat for some time would not appreciate the unexpected port change.

Well, it's a new port (jakarta-tomcat4 instead of jakarta-tomcat), so it's not really a change of a current port. The advantages are obvious. If you use a different accept-port by default, then you can install and run Tomcat 3 and 4 at the same time. And Orion and Apache too :-) And perhaps in a not so distant future some other JSP containers too B-) BTW, if you're introducing a port containing a newer version of a program that is already in the ports tree (and stays there with the new one) you can also submit a diff. I was told to submit a diff between www/orion and www/orion-current when I submitted the latter. Just FYI. The advantage is that the new port has the same history as the older. So in fact it's becoming sort of a branch. Ernst -- Ernst de Haan EuroNet Internet B.V. "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest" -- Jesus Christ
