Hi, as questions on SUSE kept popping up, I focused a few hours on this and, well, looks like the new infrastructure really makes it easy to port to new distros. And I didn't think it's a good idea to continue with the suse-seneca repository, that one is based on an old version of the infrastructure.
SUSE support is now in trunk. It is maybe not perfect and should be regarded as experimental. The PVM package is missing so far, lam, mpich are in. OpenMPI is being built, if it finishes without failure, I'll check it in, too. I took Bernard's rpmlist file and stripped it a bit, also I took atftp-server from the suse-seneca repository. A big help was that the OS_Detect stuff was correct now. Many of the prereqs RPMs are provided by SUSE, so there was no need to rebuild them. A few of the RPMs needed to be changed slightly to build on SUSE. For perl-Qt and bittorrent I added compatibility RPMs (with only depends and provides, almost no content), such that we can use the RPMs provided by SUSE, again. Ganglia needed some heavy changes in the install and init.d scripts, but works fine now. I didn't test the deployment and systemconfigurator call. Expect to find problems in that area... Sorry if this comes a bit unexpected and unplanned, for me suse support means that I can do a lot more development on my laptop than before. I think this can well remain experimental for OSCAR 5.0, but its presence in trunk should ease the development a lot.
