Installing tomcat7-selinux and tomcat8-selinux, then removing one will break the other

      In order for tomcat to run after the other selinux package has been removed you need to execute the following:

      $ /usr/sbin/semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 8005
      Show
      In order for tomcat to run after the other selinux package has been removed you need to execute the following: $ /usr/sbin/semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 8005

      As part of the refactoring for JWS-709 I had to add a port on rhel-6 for selinux. Adding/removing the port at install/uninstall time (mxi_port_t doesn't exist on rhel-6) creates a weird situation where you can install tomcat7-selinux and tomcat8-selinux, then remove tomcat8-selinux, which will break tomcat7 because it removes the 8005 port in the %postun.

      This jira is just here to document the issue.
