Binary packaging for mod_auth_cas

[Matthew J. Smith]

All-
  I am looking to get a feel from you all about the need for binary packaging of mod_auth_cas.  I have updated the current state of "official" binary packaging in the wiki [1], which includes the official inclusion in Debian's lenny-backports, squeeze, and sid and Ubuntu's karmic and lucid.  There  also are requests for inclusion in Fedora/RedHat and FreeBSD.

  I'd like to take a quick poll of mod_auth_cas use on this list:
1) What OS and version of Apache have you deployed mod_auth_cas on ?
2) Do you leverage existing distribution packaging, build your own packages, or do you ./configure && make && make install (or the Visual Studio build) ?
3) Would you leverage other pre-built binaries if provided on the JASIG site, or would you prefer to build from source?

Also, if anyone is willing to maintain binary builds of m-a-c for specific platforms, please let me know.

Please keep responses on-list, and I'll put together a tally in about two weeks.
Thanks all,
-Matt

1) RHEL 5.x, httpd-2.2.3-31.el5
2) ./configure etc
3) For RHEL, I would prefer to see it on the EPEL site
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL . But an rpm would do.

rPath Linux which is an Red Hat Enterprise Linux V4 variant
Apache Server 2.2.13

Will probably be moving to SUSE Linux

Used apxs.

Made our own customizations and bufixes, so we would probably need to
build from source for the time being.

Need to look into what this requires as we're not set up to do this kind
of thing now, but I'd like to help.

Various around campus. OS/X 10.5.8 and Apache/2.2.11 for testing.

Use apxs

We customize the code, so would have to use the source.
