Bug #: 52071
Summary: base.path basic choice (/usr/share/java) in
build.properties.default is problematic
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: fgalie...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
It is problematic for at least two reasons:
* it has quite a few chances to be a directory in use by the base operating
system;
* if tomcat is built as root (which shouldn't happen but still), there may be
the possibility to alter the contents of this directory.
Suggestions:
* change it to /var/tmp/tomcat-build, or the like;
* or don't define it at all in build.properties.default and raise an error at
build time if user hasn't defined it in its own build.properties.
