Re: Ipsilon 2.1 packages in RHEL repositories?

Hi, I'm really really new to Ipsilon (like, just started today

use it as an IdP for AWS SSO). One thing that tripped me up was that the
ipsilon packages available in the CentOS7 repos were pretty ancient.
Is there any effort underway to get the more recent code packaged and in
say RHEL 8.1 repos?
And this is one of those questions that might get me flamed, but please
understand my perspective of someone trying to decide an IdP to put
effort into learning/debugging (and not trying to troll anybody): is
Ipsilon a priority for RedHat such that continuing development is
expected? Or does Shibboleth (or some other IdP) have enough mindshare
that making another product work with Kerberos/IPA might be something RH
prefers to pursue in the future? Just...ignore those questions if
they're irritating, please.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
If you read the RHEL documentation, you'll see that Ipsilon was indeed
in rhel7, but marked as Technology Preview (TP), and then was never
bumped, so what you see in CentOS repositories reflects that.
But we use Ipsilon ourselves for CentOS.org infra (on
https://id.centos.org) and we (re)build the package through
cbs.centos.org, so it's there :
https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=20749 , but you can also
find it on koji.fedoraproject.org, as it's also used in the Fedora infra
too :)
It's also clear, from a Red Hat perspective, that they had/have focus on
Keycloak (https://www.keycloak.org/) and so reason why Ipsilon pkg in
RHEL7 was never bumped to new release/NVR, and not even present in RHEL8.
Hope that it answers your question
