Revision 2.2-3 is now uploaded for RH5. I didn't bother with RH4 since the change won't matter there.

Could you please also add
/sbin/chkconfig --add shibd
to the %posttrans section after we copy the file over? It looks like the same bug from 2.1 from the %postun section is removing all the symlinks in all runlevels. So while the init script is in place, there's no reference in any runlevel left (at least on a couple RHEL5.3s which I upgraded via RHN).
Post facto this can easily be fixed and I made a note on the wiki page NativeSPLinuxRPMUpgrade.

Primary patch for init script handling:
http://svn.middleware.georgetown.edu/view/cpp-sp?view=rev&revision=3064
Not sure what's left to address with shib.conf.

Not sure what I was thinking, you're right, I can't really fix this other than going forward. The postun code in the old package is going to blow away anything I do. The only real "fix" is don't upgrade, and do a remove/install instead.
I think my patch is correct going forward, but that's about all I can do.

Upgrading the 2.1 SP to 2.2 removes the init.d script and Apache httpd config snipplet shib.conf, because (I'm just relaying this for Scott) the %postun scriptlet (for removing the old packages files) is run after the %post scriptlet (which only copies files if they do not already exist).
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Scriptlet_Ordering
Either way it looks like whatever the new package does, the %postun from the old package will happily remove the aformentioned files after the %post of the new package is finished?
