Re: installing tomcat4 rpm

The short summary is:
 * Apache does not release each version of Tomcat in RPM
   format.  4.1.30 is the latest version of Tomcat, but 4.1.24
   is the last one that they have packaged into an RPM.
 * JPackage does have an RPM of the latest Tomcat, but it is 
   packaged in such a way that it has a number of dependencies.
   This isn't really a problem because you can use yum to ease
   the package installation.  http://jpackage.org/repos.php#access
   However, they do not distribute RPMs of code release under the Sun
   binary license.  So, you will need to rebuild several packages.
   http://jpackage.org/faq.php
 * While I would encourage you to use an RPM of Tomcat (it will 
   make life easier in the long run), you don't *have* to use an
   RPM.  You can just download the 4.1.30 tarball, untar it, and
   set TOMCAT_HOME accordingly.
