Package: jetty8 Version: 8.1.16-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
when deploying a webapp to root context using "by naming convention", updates will break your setup. To use this setup you have to remove "/var/lib/jetty/webapps/root". This is caused by jetty8s preference for the "root" directory instead of "root.war". On update the jetty8 package recreates "/var/lib/jetty/webapps/root" which causes the "root.war" to be ignored and rendering your setup broken. I would suggest packaging to be changed slightly: 1. Move "/var/lib/jetty/webapps/root" to "/usr/lib/jetty8/webapps-root" 2. Create a root.xml in "/etc/jetty8/contexts" which configures a root context to "/usr/lib/jetty8/webapps-root" This way a configured root context will not be broken by updates. Deploying them requires slightly more configuration. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages jetty8 depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii apache2-utils 2.4.10-6 ii default-jre-headless [java6-runtime-headless] 2:1.7-52 ii libjetty8-extra-java 8.1.16-3 ii libjetty8-java 8.1.16-3 ii openjdk-7-jre-headless [java6-runtime-headless] 7u65-2.5.2-4 Versions of packages jetty8 recommends: ii authbind 2.1.1 Versions of packages jetty8 suggests: pn libjetty8-java-doc <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
