Hi, I am interested in packaging Tomcat.
So I found (using rpmseek.com) the following files: tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_6fc.i386.rpm tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_4fc.src.rpm At a first glance, these files looked like what I wanted to create, but they contain much more than what I expected and I need to learn more about the work that is being put into this by others. Questions: 1) What is tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_6fc.i386.rpm ? I thought it was a binary distribution but it has an incredible number of development file dependencies. Why does it require libgcj? 2) What is tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_4fc.src.rpm ? Why is it compiling Tomcat ? I thought being a cross platform Java application, compilation of the source is not required. Does it perform a native compile (libgcj)? If so, is this the future norm? Who are the people to contact re the most common Redhat distribution?
