It seem we had one - but was removed 4 years ago, when Henri started it's RPMs ( if I remember corectly ).

If I update it for 4.x and 5.0 - and manage to get it working on windows with cygwyn's RPM - can we have it included in future releases ?
It's using /opt prefix - I can switch to /usr/local ( as apache httpd default ). Preferences ?
I am building a rpm of Tomcat for one of FSC product (OpenIS). It installs Tomcat in /opt/SMAWoIS/jakarta-tomcat-${VERSION} and /opt/SMAWoIS/jakarta-tomcat or /opt/SMAWoIS/jakarta-tomcat5. It uses jsvc (for common-daemon) to start/stop the Tomcat.
I was planning to "build from binaries" (i.e. the binary tgz distro )- we already have Ant for building tomcat from source, and only want to generate a binary RPM as close as possible with the official .tgz - up to the directory name and exact content.
That is nearly what I doing. I have shell scripts that build jsvc and call ant to build the Tomcat then move it to a directories and only after that I build the rpm.
The only addition is creating the tomcat user, permissions, symlinks to etc, var, usr/bin and init.d. ( does it need logwatch ? tomcat does it's own rotation ).
Could you send me your .spec ?
I send it directly to you... (Because it is big).
I'm looking at the jpackage one ( really complex, Henri and jpackage people are amazing maintaining such a beast ! ), I want to use same permissions if possible.
I don't think /opt/SMAWoIS is good for us, but if it follows the same layout with the distribution you can make a symlink, and any add-on RPM would work.
I have a template spec file that fills a "variable" named BASEDIR and put /opt/SMAWoIS in it. That is integrated in a build environment I need some time to make it stand alone so that it can be reused if there is interest it.
Is there a rule for the intermediate directory ( /opt/ASF/jakarta-tomca-5.0.25 instead of /opt/jakarta... ) ?
I also found "epm" - a tool that generates RPM, DEB, BSD, slackware, solaris, aix,... packages from a single spec. Is it worth looking into this ? (www.easysw.com)
Probably not. It is possible to convert a RPM to a DEB.
I know - it is possible to also generate a DEP using only Ant and tar/ar commands. But epm will also generate binary packages for macosx, solaris, etc. Maybe some other time :-)
