[Spacewalk-list] Tomcat6 EOL

[Michael Mraka]

Snyder, Chris:
> For those of us still running SW under CentOS6, the RPMs still require Tomcat6. But Tomcat6 hit EOL back in December (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-60-eol.html).
> 
> Any plans on updating the CentOS6 Spacewalk server RPMs to allow use of Tomcat7? Those RPMs are now available through the EPEL repo.

Hello Chris,

As long as Tomcat 6 will be (supported) part of base RHEL / Centos 6 we do
not plan to replace it with EPEL version. It's fairly common situation
that even after upstream's EOL downstream products still use and
maintain it.
