1.) In my opinion the important informations from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191611 have to be added. 2.) The basic configuration for /etc/tomcat-6/tomcat-users.xml has to be added (access to manager page). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge tomcat Actual Results: No description of this issues are found at the site: 1.after install of !not masked! tomcat start goes wrong. 2.after fix this issue, manager does not work. 3.optional using of tomcat-native should be described (no dependency - can also be a bug?) 4.after install using "doc" or "example" USE flag both don't work without configuration (can also be a bug?) Expected Results: Using this documentation should end with a working tomcat and a basic knowledge of using tomcat.
Unless the tomcat package is ~arch, only the stable baselayout and initscripts should be documented. Still, it's not the GDP's problem. We don't maintain documents in /proj/. The Java team is responsible for their stuff.
If/when I make a new guide for Tomcat 7, I will take the suggestions into consideration.
The old website has been migrated to a wiki [1]. You are more than welcome to set up an account and pitch in. [1]: http://wiki.gentoo.org
Closing the ticket, because our bugtracker will likely not help in this case. Better edit the wiki, use the talk/discussion page and discuss on IRC/Forums.
