SP 2.5.5 packages for testing

[Cantor, Scott]

There are SP 2.5.5 release candidate RPMs available from my repository for testing [1], and I'm asking for more testing than I normally would because this patch includes significant changes on some platforms for systemd that I have outlined in the release notes page [2].

Notably, there's a warning there that I will highlight in the announcement later because the one-time conversion to systemd isn't able to maintain the start-on-boot status of shibd. Fedora generally outlaws that conversion for its own packages outside of Fedora upgrades, but these aren't OS packages, so I have no window short of a 3.0 to get this done. It's unfortunate but I didn't get this work done before we did the original packages on those systems for good reason, it took a lot of time.



I need RPM testers because the packaging for this was an absolute nightmare to get right, and while I did a lot of testing, it's impossible to do enough.

Some minimal "looks ok" for older OS packages is fine, I just needed to not break anything there. The main need is testers on RH 7 or OpenSUSE 13 where the conversion kicks in.

The testing I need is really the packaging, daemon control, upgrades, etc. Not so much SP testing. So it really shouldn't be that much to ask?
