Tomcat 4 circular dependencies

[Gary Benson <gbenson at redhat dot com>]

Hi all,

Tomcat 4 is split into two tarballs (core and connectors) but the
split is a little messy resulting in a circular dependency between the
two.  To get a working catalina executable you need to compile the
following bits of the two tarballs in the following order
(non-relevant bits omitted):

 lib-org-apache-tomcat-util       (connectors)
 lib-org-apache-catalina          (core)
 [any connectors you want to use] (connectors)
 catalina executable              (core)

I think that the tidiest way to handle this would be to make one rhug
package with both tarballs in it (perhaps as upstream/{core,conns}, or
maybe upstream and upstream-conn).  Does anybody know a better way
and, if not, does anybody mind if I do this?  Any preference as to the
names of the upstream directories?

Cheers,
Gary
