1 year ago Hey, @jromolina. Thank you for opening this issue.
I'm the owner of this repo (cleydyr/Biblivre-5), which is a pseudo-fork of the repo Biblivre/Biblivre-5, but I can't speak on behalf of the owners of the latter. I suggest you go to the official forum or open an issue on that repo to get more information about those outdated dependencies and forecasts.
Having said that, the requirements you mention as being outdated have been removed from the README for this repo. You can deploy it using JDK 17 or newer and the latest version of Tomcat.
Cheers
Hi !
Upon analyzing the official page of the Biblivre software, we have identified several concerning issues with its latest version (5.05). It appears that this version has not received any updates for approximately six years. Additionally, the installation requirements listed suggest using outdated versions of the required software components. Furthermore, there is no indication that Biblivre is compatible with current versions of these required software components.
Dependencies:
Requirements: Biblivre/Biblivre-5 on GitHub
PostgreSQL 9.1 (discontinued on 10/24/2016) Apache Tomcat 7.0 (discontinued on 03/31/2021) Apache Maven 3.2 (in support, current version is 3.9.4)
Issues Raised:
Outdated Biblivre Version: The current Biblivre version (5.05) has not received updates for about six years. This raises concerns about the software's stability, security, and compatibility with modern systems.
Compatibility with Outdated Software: The listed requirements suggest using outdated versions of PostgreSQL and Apache Tomcat, both of which have been discontinued for a significant period. This may pose security and functionality risks.
Lack of Compatibility Information: There is no clear information available on whether Biblivre 5.05 is compatible with the latest versions of the required software components, such as PostgreSQL and Apache Tomcat. This lack of compatibility information can lead to installation and usage issues.
