Awesome! I'm really impressed with what I've seen inside the Tomcat Spec file so far.
I'm reading all this RPM stuff right now: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/build.html http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm1/ http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm2/ As well as this regular expression stuff: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html And this sed stuff: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html (I gotta get these into the how to help docs - Or if JPackage lists them, we can just cross link) JPackage uses sed and regular expressions a lot, so I have to get up to speed on that. I'll send out a note when I have grip on their processes and how I think the ADS RPM maps to it. Oh - JPackages compile the source, so we need to re-compile inside the RPM. OK - Back to Reading the Tomcat spec.
