Hi Dan,

I'm not aware of any completed efforts, but there's definitely been
interest in this, particularly for .debs:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/bYBd

I think the simplest thing to do would be to use the bundled Tomcat
and database (Derby) for this purpose, rather than defining them as
explicit package dependencies.  If people wanted to upgrade to a more
production-appropriate DB (e.g. postgres, mysql) after install, they
could do that after the initial install with the help of the
fedora-rebuild utility.  The installer can be run non-interactively by
passing it a .properties file as the first argument, so in theory it
should be possible to have a package-manager-friendly installer just
wrap that.

I'm willing to advise on Fedora-specific bits if anybody wants to take
a stab at this.  I believe Ben's offer of cookies is still good.
