Updated SP 2.5 alpha packages available

[Cantor, Scott]

The home:Scott_Cantor repositories have been updated with new packages.
You can also obtain tarballs from the build service:

https://api.opensuse.org/public/source/home:Scott_Cantor/xmltooling-1.5/xml
tooling-1.5.tar.gz

https://api.opensuse.org/public/source/home:Scott_Cantor/opensaml-2.5/opens
aml-2.5.tar.gz


https://api.opensuse.org/public/source/home:Scott_Cantor/shibboleth-sp-2.5/
shibboleth-sp-2.5.tar.gz


The most interesting features new to this alpha are:

- resolver plugins for manipulating attributes at the SP (see
NativeSPAttributeResolver)
- experimental Apache 2.4 support

The main concern I have with the latter is the handling of subrequests,
such as you get from mod_rewrite scenarios. I don't know if it's going to
work properly yet, but I haven't gotten around to trying to break it.

These packages of course don't include the 2.4 module. Testers would need
to build Apache from source and then build the SP from source, or by
rebuilding the SRPM.

Configuration is mostly the same as now, except for a couple of commands
that are no longer usable because of the Authorization changes, and the
major change, that any require rules for custom attributes have to change:

require affiliation student
becomes
require shib-attr affiliation student

That's unavoidable because of changes to Apache authorization behavior
(which I discussed on the list).
