Tomcat 4 RPMs available

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

At least and after fixing license problem

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0/rpms/

- tomcat-v4.0
- to avoid license problem both source and binary are included in the source
rpm
  we use binary tarball to get required jar, jndi, mail, jta...
- Java Managment Extension, jmx is included in source rpm for build purpose
but
  won't be installed in binary rpm again for license problem.
- many RPM enhancements from suggestion from Keith Irwin
<ke...@non.hp.com>,
  Nicolas Mailhot <ni...@one2team.com> and Jun Inamori. A big
thanks
  to all of them
- tomcat run as nobody (finally) in init.d.
  BE CAREFULL NOW WHEN running tomcat as root (in interactive mode for
example)
  since you could then make some files unreadable
- a config file is available for init.d script tuning, tomcat.conf, in
%{confdir}
- no external parser is required since crimson (jaxp 1.1) is now included
- this RPM is still not FHS, need some reworks...
- no external parser is required since crimson (jaxp 1.1) is now included
- built under Redhat 6.2 with updates, jikes 1.15, IBM JDK 1.3
(cx130-20010626), jsse 1.0.2

/usr/bin/tomcat4 is a wrapper to make tomcat4 run as nobody !

mod_webapp RPM to be released soon but for Apache 1.3 (eapi) only
since I couldn't get it compile with Apache 2.0

Please Please Please do it!


Because binary webapp does not work:
"[warn] Loaded DSO modules/mod_webapp.so uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this 
module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)"

Also, a lot of files in tomcat4-webapps (especially in tomcat-docs) have 
  size 0. Is it OK? Even index.html...

Also, /manager/ is virtually empty (only WEB-INF/web.xml). Is is OK?
