The best (e.g. most flexible, least cruft) S/RPM packages for Tomcat
I've seen are the ones provided by Jason Brittain. They used to be on
his personal website and seemingly have found a new home at
http://code.google.com/p/webdroid-tomcat-package/
For `yum install` you'd need to import the packages into a repo of
your own. We use our RHN Satellite but createrepo (or others) will do
just fine.
