Shibboleth Developers

[Scott Cantor <>]

A bit of an update...

I have the beginnings of a port tree set up here:

http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/downloads/Macintosh/dports/

I basically just uploaded the tree I was creating locally, so I don't know 
if that's sufficient or not, but you can try it, just add that URL ahead of 
the default rsync location in your macports sources.conf file.

Right now I have log4cpp (my threadsafe version), xercesc, and 
xml-security-c created and working.

log4cpp and xerces are in the main ports tree, but their log4cpp is the 
broken one from sourceforge and I'm still patching Xerces to reduce the 
memory usage for Shibboleth, so I have a 2.7.1 packaged on the web site.

Now the "bad" news, depending on your viewpoint...like all these OS 
packaging efforts, they want to manage every piece of software and ignore 
the OS entirely, and I really have to follow that, which means I'll have to 
use their openssl port and their Apache port as well.

A port of Shib 1.3 will not load inside the Apache that comes with OS X 
because it will conflict with the openssl Apple builds with. Sorry, there 
isn't anything I can do about that. Shib 2.0 may work now that I've severed 
the mod_shib/openssl dependency.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any testers giving those initial ports a try and see 
if it's working. I'll be adding the rest of the packages up there as my time 
permits.
