[SciFed] Tomcat 6 requirement for Shib IDP

[Aaron Roots]

Also if you can get to Centos6 or Redhat6 – tomcat6 is provided in the base repos. We are currently running this version without issue.

Cheers
Aaron

Thanks Peter. Useful to know and I am going to try it on Dev machines.
We do use other repos along with RHN. The problem is that jpackage.repo became out sync.

Forwarded the Tomcat5 bug that Nate mentioned to the Redhat Developer responsible for Tomcat5 release.
Here is the reply...

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.
