I know the opensuse build server has many flavours on it so it's pretty "easy" to get packages built for your flavour there. I have built an older version of freeradius on there. So the only thing you really need to focus on is getting a working spec file for rpm.
The issue is that "a working spec file" is not the same as a stable, always secure (maintained by someone else), well-integrated (in your distro) package, like packages included in RHEL are supposed to be. This is why using third-party repositories in general are a bad idea, unless you're really know what you're doing and/or are aware of the risks and disadvantages. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204
