Description
At present, Shibboleth 3.0.2's RPMs can't be built with FastCGI support because of a recent change in the %files section in the spec file. Previously in 2.6.1 and earlier, the spec file included all build files the libdir with
%{_libdir}/shibboleth/*
which included the shibauthorizer and shibresponder binaries (build into that directory if --with fastcgi was set). With Shibboleth 3, the %files section has been changed to only include the *.so files in libdir:
`%{_libdir}/shibboleth/*.so
which means that the FastCGI binaries are thus excluded from being packaged.
There's various ways in which this problem could be solved; for example, adding the following lines into the spec file's %files section allow the RPM to be built successfully:
It will be fixed when the next release is done, but I'm not in a position to spend hours on a release for just this. When enough bug reports come in and it's time to do another release this will be included. That could be next year or next month or even next week, it's really impossible to say.
Since none of the current builds include this, I'm not sure why this matters. Anyone doing an SRPM build is in control of the specfile and can easily patch it.

Any thoughts on a fix for this issue and/or applying the solution above? Thanks.
At present, Shibboleth 3.0.2's RPMs can't be built with FastCGI support because of a recent change in the %files section in the spec file. Previously in 2.6.1 and earlier, the spec file included all build files the libdir with

This causes the following error when building:
