Oh yes, I'm quite familiar with SuSE. Long-time subscribers here may remember
that SuSE was the primary platform on which Rivendell was originally developed
until late 2010. I personally moved my development to CentOS at that time,
mostly in response to a precipitous drop-off in the quality of OpenSuSE (the
free-as-in-beer variant of SuSE that feeds SLES; analogous to what Fedora is to
RedHat).
While I haven't personally tested it since OpenSuSE 11.1, I would expect that
Rivendell's 'make rpm' target will produce working RPMs for SuSE (discounting a
little inevitable code rot since 11.1). If anyone wants to pick up downstream
support for SuSE, I'll gladly accept patches.
