You can find the spec file that we use to build the sophie package at

  http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/ingredients/sophie.spec

Any required patches can be found in the same directory.

You might also be interested in our "mysophobia" package, which provides 
the equivalent of Sophos Enterprise Manager for Linux: it will download 
the latest software for whichever platforms you specify, together with any 
necessary .ide files.  For Windows, it creates a directory that can be 
your Sophos CID; for Linux, it builds RPMs for sophos, libsavi etc and 
provides a script "sav-update" that can be run to update a Linux machine 
from these RPMs (and the .ide files).  It will even send a SIGHUP to 
sophie to notify it of new .ide files, or restart sophie if a new version 
of libsavi is installed.

It's GPL software; if you want it, grab the tarball from 

  http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/ingredients/mysophobia-1.1.tar.bz2

Any problems, let me know.  It's tested under Mandrake, but there will 
probably be small idiosyncrasies that need tweaking to get it to run under 
SuSE.
