I belive install docs should be qa-ed for every release and cleaned. Regarding OpenSuSE i know a few that run Koha flawlessly on it. At leat 3.6 i think. The main problem is there are not many volunteers to take on the job of testing and rewriting.
I've never used dpkg on a rpm-based distro, did the reverse thou.
Recognizing that OpenSuSE and Slackware have "grown a bit apart" over the years, I did try Koha on Slackware 13.0 and got it running from the tarball without major problems (very slightly slower than Ubuntu 12.04 on the same machine.) At the time I played with deb2pkg (based on Volkerding's rpm2tgz) and makepkg, but failed. I don't remember spending much time on it though, basically because I (personally, YMMV) prefer the finer control using .tar Best - Paul

A person I know was telling me about a project they have in OpenSUSE. So, I downloaded it. I'm installing it. And then I thought, "Hey, does Koha work on this?" The installation is downloading RPM's after all. So, I looked on the Wiki for OpenSUSE.
I thought my Ubuntu tarball instructions were super-long. These instructions even tell the person how to install OpenSUSE?! Isn't that a tad out of scope? Next, these are for 3.0, which again is out of date. And lastly, these are so tarball oriented, when I currently have no reason to believe that the debian repositories won't work.
Any thoughts?
