I have binary RPM packages for openSUSE 11.2 based on gnustep-make 2.2.0, -base 1.19.3, and -gui and -back 0.17.1. These were, at the time, classed as 'unstable' versions, but were actually pretty stable. If you are interested, they are at: <http://www.rstonehouse.co.uk/extras/GNUstep-2.2.0/openSUSE-11.2/i586/> Alternatively, if you can wait a couple of weeks or so, I am in the process of building the latest stable versions (gnustep-make 2.4.0 etc) for the recent openSUSE 11.3 release, and intend to make binary packages available online when ready. > What are my options here?
