I think someone mentioned recently that libssh2 has been added, as well. Beyond that, we're also looking at moving guacd (back) to libssh instead of libssh2. > Tomcat has also been removed from the repos, seemingly on purpose by Red > Hat.

I think EL7 shipped with Tomcat 7 or something like that, and they never did much in the way of updating it, so I always pull Tomcat down from the Tomcat page to get the latest. EL8 probably ships with JBOSS, since RedHat maintains that. > Laslty, libjpeg-turbo. The dev has a yum repo that I have used, but it > appears it only pulls libjpeg-turbo and not libjpeg-turbo-devel.

The install instructions mention both libjpeg-turbo-devel and libjpeg-devel. -Nick
