Ok, I understand now -- from your announcement of the RPM I thought the FHS work had
been done, but you are saying that it has not been done but will be done prior to the
final RPM of 4.0.4. I guess that makes more sense. :-) I haven't looked at these new
RPMs too closely but I noticed a couple of errors on install/removal. Right now,
/var/tomcat4 and /etc/tomcat4 are not owned by the RPM, so they don't get removed when
rpm -e executes. Also, the %preun removes a nonexistant file (wrong path). Here is a
patch to the specfile to fix those errors (not sure if the /etc/tomcat4 solution is
the right way to do this or if it should be defined as a macro). I'll send more if I
find anything.
Thanks,
Jason
P.S. http://www.jpackage.org/ is pretty cool. Should there be a link in the RPM
directory to the site (for those who want to build the tomcat4 RPM but don't know
where to get those packages)?

Yes, but the spec make provision to locate confdir in /etc/tomcat4/conf.
And to keep compat with tc we'll use symlink between real location,
/etc/tomcat4/conf and /var/tomcat4/conf

Redhat 6.2 or 7.2, with jikes 1.15

You could find them at www.jpackage.org, a Java RPM packaging
project which cover many many java tools (I'm also involved there)

You could get them at jpackage ;)
BTW, the FHS location and tomcat 4 listening on standard port
8080, 8081, 8009 (ajp) is planned for tomcat 4.0.4 rpm (or may
be tomcat 4.0.4b2 rpm release 2.
