How to update Tomcat to 7.0.59 on Centos 6.6

Post by Comrad » 2015/04/02 17:36:57

Hello everybody!
I have a server on Centos 6.6 and Tomcat 7.0.33 on it.
Now I want correctly update Tomcat to the latest for now 7.0.59.
But how to do that?
The repositories I use don't have it:

Code: Select all

# yum repolist
atrpms               Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64 - ATrpms                
base                  CentOS-6 - Base                                                          
epel                   Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64          
extras                CentOS-6 - Extras                                                    
r1soft                R1Soft Repository Server                                           
rpmforge            RHEL 6 - RPMforge.net - dag                                      
updates             CentOS-6 - Updates                                                
I can't just download from somewhere and install rpm package.
Tomcat is divided onto several packages:

Code: Select all

# rpm -qa|grep tomcat
tomcat-lib-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
apache-tomcat-apis-0.1-1.el6.noarch
tomcat-el-2.2-api-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
tomcat-admin-webapps-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
tomcat-webapps-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
tomcat-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
tomcat-servlet-3.0-api-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
tomcat-jsp-2.2-api-7.0.33-4.el6.noarch
Thanks a lot in advance.\

CentOS neither supplies nor supports tomcat 7. It supplies tomcat6.
Your best bet is to ask the the authors of the repo that supplied your tomcat to provide an update.

It was in Epel repo, but strange, now it's absent in the latest repos for Centos 7.
I found this Tomcat in Fedora 21 updates:
http://mirror.digitalnova.at/fedora/lin ... /x86_64/t/

Can I attach that repo to my Centos 6.6 and make an update for all those tomcat* packages?
