Yes, yes, of course I will compile it from sources.

It would be great to have subpackages: hudson-tomcat and hudson-standalone 
(hudson-jboss, hudson-my-fovorite-application-server)? If there is anyone who 
want to maintain and use other configurations than hudson-tomcat, feel free 
to split hudson into subpackages. I need hudson only as an application inside 
tomcat.

And what do you think about deploing apps into tomcat using rpm? AFAIK no 
other distro does it this way (am I right?).

BTW thanks for comments.
