RE: Distribution Policy? Where did the RPMs go?
Don't take me as a definitive source as I'm not a commiter (or even a developer) but I believe there is work to make the RPMs for tomcat4 more FHS compliant. There is also some debate as to how FHS compliance should be achieved (proper directory structure, symlinking in post-install, etc.). This is not a small task, so the RPMs may be a bit delayed as compared to how quickly they were posted in the past. And I do not believe the RPMs are built via the same build tasks that produce the other platform binaries, although that seems like a worthwhile goal to move towards if possible. Rest assured though that tomcat RPMs have not been dropped from the plans as far as I've seen, and if they have been I'll start building some. :-) Jason -Original Message- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 12:01 PM To: Tomcat Users Mailing List Subject: Distribution Policy?

That's the last version I see one for. I rather like the RPMs myself and would like to see them continue. Did someone accidentally comment out that part of the Ant script? =) I certainly hope you all haven't decided to no longer build RPM distributions =( Anyone know what is up? Thanks!

Re: Distribution Policy? Where did the RPMs go?
Thank you for the update =) I'm guessing the 4.1.x series won't start having RPM builds until they reach a full release - is that assumpiton correct? Thanks!
