I forgot to note, code-wise these packages are all *exactly* as released by
me in the last release, 2.2.1, and the versions reflect that.

But there are specfile differences and the RPM packaging is not necessarily
identical to the specfiles included in the 2.2.1 tarballs or in the tarballs
of upstream packages that I prepared here. This includes, I believe, one or
two bug fixes related to the upgrade process, restart of shibd/Apache, etc.,
which is still gradually improving.

All of which is to say that if you stuck the specfiles I released last into
this build service yourself, you wouldn't get these packages. I did however
check in all such changes into svn for future releases, so eventually they
should converge (other than upstream packages I don't control like Xerces).

In fact, one of the big wins here is that I can slipstream packaging-related
fixes outside the normal release schedule since the service will
autogenerate all the packages for me and bump the revision.
