Description gtl4407 2007-08-14 19:24:53 UTC

When upgrading tomcat, and you already have a ROOT application different to the one that comes with tomcat by default, files get overwritten. Even minor upgrades do this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade tomcat using portage emerge
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Files in /var/lib/tomcat-5.5/webapps/ROOT/ are overwritten

Expected Results:  
If this directory already exists, it should be left alone. This is the behavior of the apache web server, if /var/www/localhost/ exists, its not overwritten.
