skinny-tomcat-rpm

An RPM spec file to create a "skinny" Tomcat 8 RPM. This is a very opinionated Tomcat RPM meant to be used in so-called "production" deployments.

• It removes all webapps: docs, examples, manager, host-manager, and ROOT.
• It removes logging configurations for console, manager, and host-manager.
• It depends on Oracle JRE 7+ (not JDK, not even OpenJDK).
• It moves installation base (from /opt/tomcat) to /usr/lib/tomcat.
• It places webapps, temp, and work under /var/lib/tomcat (with links from /usr/lib/tomcat).
