Dear Maintainer,

When running tomcat 10 (installed from default bookworm repo) it warns that "An
older version [1.2.35] of the Apache Tomcat Native library is installed, while
Tomcat recommends a minimum version of [2.0.1]"

I feel debian should package a version of tc-native equals or newer than the
recommendation of the packaged tomcat version.

I wonder if we tomcat 9 still requires version 1.x of tcnative, which means
debian should package both libtcnative-1 and a libtcnative-2, or if the latest
tcnative 2 would suffice for both tomcat 9 and tomcat 10, and then we might
want to drop the 1 in the tcnative package name and just package the latest 2.x
version under that name.

Thank you.

Hello,

This is something we aim for in Debian 13. For now 1.2.35 should work just fine
despite the warning.

We will remove Tomcat 9 in the near future because we can support only one
version. I guess we can rename libtcnative-1 to just libtcnative instead of
creating a new libtcnative-2 package. I'm sure we will make a decision after
the freeze.

Hi.

May I inquire what is the status of this bug?
Will trixie be released without a libtcnative-2 package?

Best regards,
