I think just "unpacking a tarball" won't be appropriate for an official package, assuming that this includes pre-built JAR files? Those would all need to get built from source during the package build, but this should be a solveable problem. More concrete feedback will probably happen once you can share a working package / RPM spec file and / or submit that for package review. > If this is not the correct place to discuss it, please let me know.
