I logged a bz (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=990588) to request that the tomcat shell scripts (catalina.sh and the rest) be packaged. I've had some discussions with the person the bz is assigned to and few others, but no one knows why the scripts were not packaged. Nor, it seems, does anyone see a problem with them being packaged as far as I can tell.
Does anyone know some history here?
