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
