which SPEC files were you using? rhel:tomcat6.spec + version bump, or fedora:tomcat.spec or jpackage:tomcat7.spec ? Just curious about the starting point. My idea was to grab Fedora's spec and massage it into submission. Main point (aside from libraries & their versions) would probably be the startup script as RHEL doesn't use systemd. But that should be easy to address and possibly plead for conditional SPEC file with RHEL-based builds using init.d startup vs Fedora's systemd. However it's still unclear whether EPEL would be the place for such build as RHN offers tomcat7 under JBoss channel which may be in conflict with EPEL guidelines. > then i just went to the jpackage release cause i needed to finish what i > was doing. OT: hmm. My past experience with Jpackage+RHEL was a mixed bag with conflicting packages and rather peculiar resulting install sets (mix of RHEL and Jpackage rpm's).
