Alan, as for packages… Well, CentOS 6.x, CentOS 7.x, Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) and higher, Debian 6 (squeeze) and higher would be good. I'm guessing OpenSUSE and SciLinux could also do with support, but unfortunately I don't have any information on them.

There are some… tweaks… between CentOS 6.4 and 6.5 when it comes to OpenSSL support, so there are some bits that don't build for 6.4 that do for 6.5 (speaking from experience), so this may mean separate repos.
