No as I said there is a stable package, you just have to enable stable
backports. There is also a testing version.

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tomcat9 so 9.0.16. It's
available in the stable branch trough backport repository (stable
branch never get new major version directly).
So it seems there’s only an “unstable” version FTM. I would wait till there’s a “stable”
version at least. We could add it to our “unsupported” docker tests that execute once a
month though. WDYT? On 12 Apr 2019, at 17:00, Thomas Mortagne

Hi devs,
tomcat9 package is now available in Debian repositories so I would
like to start providing xwiki-tomcat9-* Debian packages of XWiki.
Nothing complex so far but it if we provide an official tomcat 9
oriented package it would also make more sense to add Tomcat 9 in
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SupportStrategy/ServletConta…
(only Tomcat 8 right now).
Another argument is that it's the current recommended stable version
from Tomcat point of view so people will use it more and more.
WDYT ?
In principle it’s good but it means doing a lot more tests to officially support it and
we’re already doing a lot. So I’m not very inclined to add new config tests. It adds a lot
of hours to the build. I’d prefer that we keep officially supporting only a single version
if we can. Same as for jetty for ex.
BTW could you provide the URLs for the various debian repos (oldstable, stable, unstable)
so that we can check the precise Tomcat versions?
What’s your need for adding support for it now, since debian doesn’t have a stable
support for it yet?
This link used to work so it’s been removed. Not sure what we should do.
Thanks

BTW I also noticed that
https://packages.debian.org/sid/tomcat8 doesn’t exist anymore. It’s been removed? This
link is in our doc at
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SupportStrategy/ServletConta…
This is the URL for sid only which is the unstable branch. Not really
sure if it's like this on purpose or if it's a mistake but it will
continue to be available for a very long time in the stable branch for
sure anyway. On Tomcat side there is no date announced for 8.5.x end
of life.
Thanks
