The init scripts are actually still there in a sub package, which is handy. I had forgotten that I pulled all the systemd stuph out and moved the sysv bits back into the base package. here is the spec: http://nytefyre.net/rpms/tomcat.spec so, obviously, it doesn't work. > 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. > does the JBoss channel count as a conflict?

We'd definitely prefer an EPEL version to just negate that risk.
