Maybe you can get some mileage out of EPEL? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#What_is_Extra_Packages_for_Enterpris e_Linux_.28or_EPEL.29.3F I think I recently installed it on Amazon Linux to get some obvious package that was missing for some unknown reason. > Is there a long-term support version (LTS) where only break-fix > and security changes are made, and feature enhancements go into the > next LTS? As Mark has already said, no, such a package doesn't exist. Tomcat releases, however, are usually very stable and rarely break things.
