The optimal solution here would be for you to take the OpenSuSE source RPM, extract it, modify the spec file so that it corresponds to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines[1] and then submit it for package review[2] in Fedora. That way others can use this tool as well. [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
