If you have a Linux box and like to keep your installed programs nice and tidy using the RPM program then rpms are essential unless there is another program used for managing installation of program from tar/tgz/tar.gz archives?
I run SuSE v8.0 & 8.1 and there was a kb article that said to use a program called /sbin/installpkg for installing ".tgz" packages but I have never seen this nor am I sure that "tar.gz" is the same as ".tgz" Guidance? -----Original Message----- From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 11:15 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: RPMs Actually, the release builds have moved to a new scenario, basically the same as Apache HTTP. Tomcat release binaries are available from various mirror sites. On any given mirror, there are only /bin and /src, and in /bin there are the full versions and the LE versions. I think RPMs went away with 4.1.17, though I could be wrong. In any case, you can find pre-4.1.18 RPMs here: http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/archives/ On that note, there's no need for an RPM for Tomcat, in my opinion. The only thing a RPM adds (AFAIK) is the creation of a tomcat user and the installation of a start/stop init script. Both tasks are easily completed manually, leaving just the need for the binaries themselves.
