For RT extensions, you're always going to have to do them manually

The test suite for RT::Crypt::SMIME is realy intended for a development
environment. It's unfortunate, but I wouldn't expect it to work on your
live RT instance. 

As a heads up, we last qualified it for a customer on 3.6. I don't know
for sure that it works on 3.8.  We could certainly bring it up to date
(or take a patch)

Best,
