[Fedora-packaging] OpenSuse / Fedora Packaging Compatibility?

The OpenSuse build service is full of specs which are used for building both 
packages. The main problems are due to different names for some packages I 
think, but these are handled by if-else statements which automatically check 
the target distribution.

I think for independent software providers the best way is to simply set up a 
OpenSuse build service on your servers and build your packages there. It will 
produce packages and native repositories for several distributions with not 
too much overhead.

Regards,

Roland
