Apache Tomcat package / lookup the package name across all repositories

[dreael]

On the previous CentOS 7.x release, a simple

Code: Select all

yum install tomcat

was possible. The new release doesn't support it. Even

Code: Select all

yum search tomcat

does not show any result. From the OpenVPN package I know that a

Code: Select all

yum install epel-release

must be first done, before a

Code: Select all

yum install openvpn

is possible. Because

Code: Select all

yum search openvpn

also does not show any result before installing the EPEL release, I d'like to ask for a suitable package lookup functionality which also searches inside every optional repository.

You'll find that EPEL is a work in progress. It's a bit catch-22 in that many of the developers who package for EPEL use CentOS to do so so will not have been able to build packages for el8 in advance of CentOS 8 being released...
