CentOS - Dec 2019 - tomcat package and repo for centos8

Hi all,

sadly there is no epel tomcat package so far.
As per
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1745960
there is no progress for three months.

Is there any other third party repository which builds tomcat for
centos/rhel 8?

Thx
Rainer

I intend to build tomcat 8 and 9 for CentOS 8 in my harbottle-main
repo ( https://harbottle.gitlab.io/harbottle-main ), just as I did for
CentOS 7, but I'm having trouble with the log4j dependency in CentOS 8
(see my recent emails to this list).

OK, I've built Tomcat 8 and 9 for CentOS 8. Docs here:
https://gitlab.com/harbottle/harbottle-main/blob/master/docs/tomcat8.md
https://gitlab.com/harbottle/harbottle-main/blob/master/docs/tomcat9.md

Please test and let me know if they are OK.
