mod_shib_24.so not included in shibboleth RPM

[David Hodnett]

My apologies. I was very flippant and casual in my choice of words.

Amazon Linux is binary compatible with CentOS 5. I have successfully
deployed the RPM from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security://shibboleth/CentOS_5/and
it worked great with with Apache 2.2 as installed from Amazon's own
repo.

However, I misunderstood what I was trying to accomplish. I no longer think
Apache 2.4 is the problem. I think
https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SSPCPP-618 is what I was
originally looking for, and I'm very fortunate I didn't run into any halt
and catch fire instructions within the CentOS 5 build.

And I very much appreciate the effort. I took it for granted how easy it
was to set up and configure Shibboleth Service Providers thanks to this
RPM. I initially installed Shibboleth (via yum) on an Amazon free tier
"micro" instance, realized that I couldn't update it via RPM, tried to
build from source and encountered a fatal error compiling OpenSAML due to
the lack of memory available on that instance. It's been one obstacle after
another but I will keep an eye on that JIRA ticket and keep trying in the
meantime.
