For the most part yum (and package management in Fedora) works just fine. The only problem I've had is when you specify multiple repositories containing packages with conflicting names or dependencies. Even then, it's usually not too much work to sort out the confusion. In general, don't use a lot of uncoordinated repositories. This is what I get when I run yum install tomcat5 from the command line: Installing: tomcat5 noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12 fedora 299 k Installing for dependencies: apache-commons-beanutils noarch 1.8.3-2.fc14 fedora 226 k apache-commons-daemon i686 1.0.2-5.fc14 updates 39 k apache-commons-digester noarch 1.8.1-7.fc14 fedora 142 k apache-commons-el noarch 1.0-21.fc14 fedora 116 k apache-commons-launcher noarch 1.1-5.20100521svn936225.fc14 fedora 51 k classpathx-jaf i686 1.0-15.1.fc12 fedora 90 k classpathx-mail i686 1.1.1-9.1.fc12 fedora 642 k jakarta-commons-collections i686 3.2.1-3.fc12 fedora 802 k jakarta-commons-collections-tomcat5 i686 3.2.1-3.fc12 fedora 59 k jakarta-commons-dbcp-tomcat5 noarch 1.2.1-13.7.fc12 fedora 108 k jakarta-commons-modeler noarch 2.0.1-5.fc14 fedora 120 k jakarta-commons-pool-tomcat5 i686 1.3-13.fc13 fedora 86 k java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel i686 1:1.6.0.0-52.1.9.7.fc14 updates 8.5 M tomcat5-common-lib noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12 fedora 97 k tomcat5-jasper noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12 fedora 469 k tomcat5-server-lib noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12 fedora 1.6 M Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 17 Package(s) Total download size: 13 M Installed size: 42 M Of course, the original poster's package list may be different, since it depends on what is already installed on the system. For me it's much easier to download the appropriate compressed jar file from tomcat.apache.org. I install it somewhere in my home directory, so I can modify at will without having to drop into root. That works great for development and testing. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
