The README says:

* Download phpCAS from http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/phpCAS

This link is now dead. It seems that
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/phpCAS
is the new location for download information, with
http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz
being the thing to get.

Here's a quick keylog, that may be handy to add to INSTALL.txt

export LIBRARIES=sites/all/libraries
if [ ! -d "$LIBRARIES" ]; then
  mkdir $LIBRARIES;
fi
cd $LIBRARIES
wget http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz
tar -xz -f current.tgz 
# rename to remove the version
mv CAS-* CAS

I wanted to add a makefile too, to ease automated deployment (single-sign-on + a garden of aegir sites is a natural fit) but the download package doesn't want to allow itself to be renamed.

cas.make

; Run this (or similar) from the drupal root to auto-fetch the required PHPCAS library.
; drush make -y --no-core sites/all/modules/contrib/cas/cas.make

api = 2
core = 6.x

; Libraries
libraries[cas][download][type] = "get"
libraries[cas][download][url] = "http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz"
libraries[cas][destination] = "libraries"
libraries[cas][directory_name] = "CAS"

.. not quite good enough.
I get

sites/all/libraries/CAS/CAS-1.2.2/CAS.php

Anyone know how to get around that? Also, the PHPCAS package is a (very small) tarbomb, but mostly harmless.

I committed a fix for the download link locations in 6.x-3.x and 7.x-1.x.

I'm not sure what to do with the drush makefile. I need some more guidance here.

Well one option would be to grab phpCAS from the github source --- https://github.com/Jasig/phpCAS/tree/master/source.

True, could try that I think.
On experimentation, seeing as the config page allows you to choose the path - it's still possible to enter the extra path manually, so it's not terrible.
But It's still one step away from being 100% automatic and magic.

Grabbing the git requires the user machine to have git installed - might be 50/50 on a non-dev deployment server...

Incidentally, if phpCAS didn't include that package.xml file, your provided drush make file would work fine. :(

I'm marking this as fixed -- a drush make file would be convenient, but there does not seem to be any way to get it to work.

I've added a simplified version of your shell directions to the CAS Documentation and the README.txt file.

Coolio.
Yeah, makefile only if it did exactly what was promised, I agree.

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, since it's not contained to the makefile, but it's a good enough workaround for my needs.

I'm using a bash script that accepts some arguments for quick deployments. As part of that script, drush make clones phpCAS from Github and then within the libraries folder creates a symlink along the lines of ln -s phpCAS/source CAS

I'm actually doing it with a makefile + a feature, as the reason I wanted to automate the download also included pre-configuring the address of my CAS server for distributing a package.
I use strongarm to define the CAS library path (with the extra subdir), and also the CAS URL.
That was the goal I needed to get to anyway.
So it all comes together OK :-)

Issue summary: View changes

phpCAS is now available on github: https://github.com/apereo/phpCAS

Makefile to load it into the correct location is as follows:

libraries[cas][download][type] = "git"
libraries[cas][download][url] = "https://github.com/apereo/phpCAS"
libraries[cas][destination] = "libraries"

Also on packagist, so you can include in composer.json: https://packagist.org/packages/apereo/phpcas
