Comment on How to install Tomcat 6 on RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 by keftes

I would like to have tomcat in an official repo which will keep the package updated. Compiling from source does give me the initial security relief but it won’t help keeping Tomcat up to date and won’t prevent future exploits.

You bring up an interesting point. On one hand, your point is excellent, it would definitely be nice to have Tomcat officially part of CentOS. On the other hand, I would say that each time you use any kind of repo, you are giving up some control. If you want to be a purist, you could compile everything from source, and audit any changes in the code. However, for most people this isn’t practical. Where you draw the line, is up to you. If you want only packages, you have to use additional repositories for packages that are not part of the mainstream repositories.

You are raising a good point. If you want to have the latest updates, you always need to go to the source. Even repos like RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, etc. have different schedules to publish patches.

How often do the jpackage repositories get updated? What will happen if an exploit is discovered for the Tomcat package you installed? Isn’t it bad practice to rely on 3rd party repository for important production software packages such as Tomcat? It would be better if Tomcat existed in a more official repository and be monitored for updates more often, in my opinion.

The same principles apply to get modules to work. You basically need to make sure all the modules and libraries are accessible. Granted, this can be a daunting task.

This howto does not cover the issues with using perl::modules and the dependencies that follow. This is just the total basics.
