Hi all! Now that Tomcat 6.0.16 is officially released, I have updated my Tomcat RPM to version 6.0.16. You can download it here:
http://www.webdroid.org:8080/archives/tomcat-package/tomcat-6.0.16-0.noarch.rpm And, the source RPM is here: http://www.webdroid.org:8080/archives/tomcat-package/tomcat-6.0.16-0.src.rpm This should work on any RPM-based distro, but it has been heavily tested on Fedora, CentOS, and RedHat. This is the same RPM package that is fully documented in our new book Tomcat: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition, which focuses on Tomcat 6.0. Here is the readme for the RPM package: http://www.webdroid.org:8080/repo/viewcvs.cgi/tomcat-package/trunk/README.txt?rev=98&view=markup General features: - Fully relocateable RPM package while still being software updateable. - Two or more installations of the package may be installed and run at once, with just port and/or host address changes in each server.xml file. - Each package installation has its own environment variable settings file that is used by the JVM process, which includes JVM startup parameters. - Includes an init script that implements reliable restarts of the Tomcat JVM. - Zero RPM package dependencies on any other RPM packages, for ease of installation as a single file (other than Java itself, which you already have). RPM Build features: - Generates the source RPM (SRPM), the binary RPMs, and a tar.gz of each binary RPM's content. - Package is renameable at build time without modifying any files. This feature, combined with the relocateable feature allow installation and operation without first removing any existing package named "tomcat". - Supports per-developer build property settings overrides. - Implements archiving release archives to an archival/distribution server. - Implements a separate version properties file so that build file change history isn't obscured by numerous version number change commits. - SRPM generates three binary RPMs: tomcat, tomcat-compat, and tomcat-admin. - The spec file is written to make it as easy as possible for developers to upgrade the Tomcat 5.5 binary tar.gz files and pick up any new files that they contain, and package them in the correct package. - Makes it easy to tag the packaging files in Subversion. sha1sums: e9962481f4c4b7fcc1b24bf8a011d774e7d2bb25 tomcat-6.0.16-0.noarch.rpm 6913c85760e25d12b287e8fa1db2034ea1ad6a4c tomcat-6.0.16-0.src.rpm Enjoy! -- Jason Brittain --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
