[Bug 1539903] Re: tomcat-8 in main for upcoming 16.04 LTS

[Martin Pitt]

I sponsored this with cleaning up the changelog: You can't "promote a
package to main" with an upload (so that's confusing in a changelog) and
you didn't mention the addition of the new patch. I also ran "update-
maintainer".

** Changed in: tomcat8 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

Title:
  tomcat-8 in main for upcoming 16.04 LTS

Status in tomcat8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Dear Maintainer,

  current tomcat8 seems to be still targeting universe section only for
  the upcoming 16.04 LTS and tomcat7 main.

  As i understand it this also means tomcat8 not being covered by LTS 5
  year support but only the older tomcat7.

  Is it still possible to tomcat8 promoted to main for 16.04?

  If not what is blocking this decision and/or could be done to help it?

  Note:
  I am trying to get info for this question for a while via the 'Answers' system but could not get any answer there. So reporting as a bug now.
