Hi Brandie,

My understanding is that Redhat maintain the version numbering that they
receive from upstream, and the only "patching" they are doing is
repackaging the tomcat releases to fit in with the Redhat distro (ie.
moving files around to fit their packaging structure).

So if you download (from instance) tomcat5-5.0.28-2jpp_5rh.rpm from RHN,
you are getting the Apache Tomcat 5.0.28 release. Redhat use (and
sponsor) jpackage.org, so you may find more information there.

If my understand is incorrect (and it may be) I'd like to know - this
has always been my belief.

Cheers, Ben
