Shibboleth RPMS for OEL6.5

[Jen Hong]

Oracle Support does not support any rpms not build and released from them.  We are left with not many options.  We've tried the native SRPM source code rebuild method, but do not if there is a way to validate these rpms on OEL?

Thanks,
Jen

True. Who knows what horrors Oracle perform on RHEL. I’ve had pretty good luck with CentOS vs RHEL repos being interchangeable, but no direct experience of OEL.
