Hi folks,

I am running CentOS and am having a terrible time trying to find an RPM
for tomcat5.5.26. Some of the ones I have found have dependencies for
file that do not appear to exist. If anyone can help me here I would
greatly appreciate it,

thanks

Richard

Sorry for the simple question but...  You're not hooked up to a repo
where you can just yum it?

no, CentOS is a pretty closed distribution, and I have googled for hours
and cannot find it. The brest I can find is 5.5.20, and it is broken...
I can find 5.5.26 for fedora7,8 and 9, but they have unlocate-able
dependencies ... I was hoping someone had an all enclosed version ...
I have tried rpmforge, rpmfind, and rpm.pbone ...

Huh? How so?

If its in the Fedora repos, the dependencies are also in the Fedora
repos. Broken deps aren't allowed to linger for very long in the Fedora
repos, and that'd be a rather noticeable one...

jpackage.org maybe?

well, to stay within their repos' you are stuck with things like
PHP-5.1.6, tomcat -5.5.20 etc..
I must also say that I was a Debian sysadmin for the last 5 years before
getting this job, so I am no expert at RPMs, and am having a hard time
adjusting to YUM... On a server with no GUI, dselect was my best
friend ... far more intuitive than what I have see of YUM... but that
may be my inexperience with the RPM system showing ;)

well it did install of a FC7 system, but will not install on the CentOS
system. that is what is driving me a bit nuts. I understand that Fedora
and RHEL (centOS) are different, but CentOS seems a loooong way
behind ..

Yes, that's because CentOS is a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
which doesn't (generally) do version-bumps during its life-cycle. Its
the whole "long-term support with an unchanging base, so your enterprise
apps of today will still run, complete with security updates, 7 years
later" thing.

'yum grouplist' might be helpful. Nothing cli I'm aware of that gives
the same functionality as dselect though -- its usually done on Fedora
with either yumex or pirut (or now PackageKit), all of which are
graphical tools.

Yeah, you'd likely have to bring over a number of other F7 packages too.
For the record, RHEL3 (and thus CentOS 3) branched off of Fedora Core 1.
RHEL4 branched off of Fedora Core 3 or so. RHEL5 branched off of Fedora
Core 6. So yeah, CentOS 5 is indeed older than Fedora 7.

No problem, hope that helps.
