Review: tomcat-native 2.0.14-1
Package Information
| Description | Tomcat native library using the Apache Portable Runtime Tomcat can use the Apache Portable Runtime to provide superior scalability, performance, and better integration with native server technologies. The Apache Portable Runtime is a highly portable library that is at the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses, including access to advanced IO functionality (such as sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL), OS level functionality (random number generation, system status, etc), and native process handling (shared memory, NT pipes and Unix sockets). These features allows making Tomcat a general purpose webserver, will enable much better integration with other native web technologies, and overall make Java much more viable as a full fledged webserver platform rather than simply a backend focused technology. |

Final Comment
Hi,
The file native/LICENSE.bin.win mentions:
"Copyright (c) 1998-2024 The OpenSSL Project. All rights reserved."
which should be reflected in the debian/copyright file also.
Normally this would block acceptance, but since this package is already in
Debian I just ask you to please fix this in your next upload.
Thanks!
