(Via helpdesk.)
We have a request to produce an RPM for CentOS 8 / Rocky Linux 8.

When installed using the RPM package, the IPT runs using Jetty rather than Tomcat. This makes for a simple, standalone deployment (see systemd config), although it does prevent customization (changed colours/styles).
I've updated the package build to create an EL8 RPM, but I still need to test it — probably tomorrow.
This is not as simple as I thought, as the jetty-runner package which we used in CentOS 7 is not present in CentOS 8.
We're having issues installing the IPT on a RHEL8 server right now. Is the solution mentioned by @dipohl viable or do we need to find another workaround, perhaps even going down to using a RHEL7 server???
I have made test packages for the IPT on CentOS 8 Stream and (so far untested) CentOS 9. That should be equivalent to RHEL8 and 9.
To achieve that, I also made a Jetty Runner package, and I'm running the IPT with Java 11.
The installation instructions are similar to the manual:
yum-config-manager --add-repo https://packages.gbif.org/gbif.repo
yum --enablerepo=gbif-testing install ipt
Some basic testing shows #1853, I haven't yet done more testing than that.
I think the EL8 / EL9 packages are now working (and have been for a while).
Is there any particular reason we still cannot do the upgrade then?

Nothing to do.
Complete!
Apologies, there is an error due to a change between CentOS 7 and CentOS 8/9, which shows with an upgrade.
It's now fixed, but you will probably need to remove the old IPT package using this command:
# Version 8
rpm -e --nopreun --nopostun ipt-3.0.2-1.el8.noarch
# Version 9
rpm -e --nopreun --nopostun ipt-3.0.2-1.el9.noarch
Thank you for your quick response! I was able to remove the older version's packages, but still 3.0.2 is the highest version that is offered to our yum:
[root@danbifapp02fl vsb582]# rpm -e --nopreun --nopostun ipt-3.0.2-1.el9.noarch
[root@danbifapp02fl vsb582]# yum upgrade ipt
