Update of Apache Group RPMs

[GOMEZ Henri <hg...@slib.fr>]

Hi,

I rebuild completly the Apache RPMs after the "Apache's RPM packaging layout
poll" :

- I will follow now the Debian policy for java :

	* general java jars (much like shared libs) goes to /usr/share/java 
	  (xerces.jar, xalan.jar, jakarta-regexp.jar)

	* binaries goes in /usr/bin (ie /usr/bin/ant)

	* application datas goes in /var/appname (ie: /var/cocoon,
/var/tomcat, /var/tomcat°

Take a look at http://rpmized.free.fr/rpms/ 

	-> ant 1.1, cocoon 1.8, regexp 1.1, tomcat 3.2b6, tomcat 4.0m2,
xalan-j 1.2, xerces-j 1.2

Regards and enjoy

Tomcat 3.1 is really an old release. Tomcat 3.2 will be released soon and even
the 3.2beta are seens more stable than 3.1 (and correct many problems).
I don't think a new RPM for Tomcat 3.1 is necessary but if some ask for, I'll 
take a look at it.

I didn't see tomcat 3.1 on this list.  FWIW, I used your Tomcat 3.1
RPM and while it ran the examples and passed the tests it would not
run my web application.  The first thing I did was to download the 3.1
tarball from the Jakarta site and it worked fine.  So if you rebuild
and repackage the tomcat 3.1 RPM I will gladly test it out.
