Ok. Personally, I've never had to compile anything (that's one of the reasons I use suse -- almost everything imaginable is available already). Now, I'd like to use the Cisco vpn client to work from home on my employer's systems. Cisco has a linux version, which I have to compile.
Unfortunately, making an RPM for that is useless. For some stupid reason, the VPN client is tied into the kernel version. So, every time the kernel is updated the VPN client is borked and you have to reinstall.
Wouldn't the buildservice solve that problem, as it should rebuild the RPM anytime the kernel gets an update? That way you should get the Cisco Client Update along with the kernel, just as it works with the NVidia Graphics driver AFAIK. I could however imagine that the Cisco License prevents such a republishing of the client.
