Hi,
I found that TeXlive 2014 has released on 14 June 2014, but we still have just TeX Live 2013 in the repo, http://software.opensuse.org/package/texlive .
Sorry about that but I've no time to pack TeXLive 2014 as I'm busy with SLES-12 and also with systemd.
However, building TeX Live packages is complicated, I have no idea how to do it. I wanna build a dummy package, texlive-dummy, so that I can install TeX Live via DVD ISO from https://www.tug.org/texlive/ and don't get in trouble with dependency. Some packages, such as kile, texstudio, require texlive or tex files as their dependency. I did not get the texlive-dummy work well. I wonder it's there any way to install TeX Live 2014 via ISO, not from the repo, but don't result in dependency issue? How about we build TeX Live packages with tlmgr, TeX Live manager, which is not available in TeX Live 2013 packages in the repo? We just build TeX Live distribution for one time per year, and manager/update macro packages with tlmgr. Although, TeX Live distribution release every year, but people update packages to http://www.ctan.org/ everyday. We need tlmgr to stay up-to-date with CTAN.
