I should have thought about that ! There it is<http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39306> > . > > Thanks. > Hi Ionut, Hi everyone, As said earlier, I have some changes to the tomcat package that I would like to share: * Fixed the "userdel tomcat" in tomcat.install that did not delete the user/group * Changed $arch from ('i686' 'x86_64') to ('any') (Java is supposed to be cross-platform right?) * Removed "--with-java=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk" from ./configure options - ./configure uses the $JAVA_HOME variable automatically so there shouldn't be any need for that option - $JAVA_HOME needs to be set to the path of JVM we build against but this is a Java pre-requisite anyway - This allows Tomcat to be built and run from virtually any JVM (tested with openjdk6 and jdk/jre from Sun/Oracle) * Core files moved from /opt/tomcat to /usr/share/tomcat (Java Packaging Guidelines<http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java_Package_Guidelines#Arch_Java_Packaging> ) * Log file moved from /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.log to /var/log/tomcat/ * Conf files moved from /opt/tomcat/conf to /etc/tomcat * Webapps folders moved from /opt/tomcat/webapps to /srv/http/tomcat/webapps * Cleaned startup script /etc/rc.d/tomcat to use variables from /etc/conf.d/tomcat I have tested these changes on i686 and x86_64 and with openjdk6 and jdk/jre: that installs, runs and web applications work to. Source package enclosed. What do you think? Do some of these changes look useful to you? -- Guillaume
