In Fedora EPEL, we've used several tricks to "backport" newer capabilities to older RHEL releases so that the delta is minimized between RHEL and Fedora. There are limits, but we've been moderately successful.
EL5 corresponds to SLE 11, so some of it may help here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-rpm-macros/tree/el5
This looks useful, thanks.
As for the rpmlint policy, you can override this by forking the policy package shipped in SLE 11 and updating the rules for your SLE 11 build environments.
I can try, but this is not without its own challenges: Either I inject my package into the SLES1{12} repos, but then the signature does not match, or I have my project included in all SLES-1x.prj configs, but this has challenges on its own. Right now I tend to patch my build.rpm to just inject a /etc/rpmlint/local.config that 'addFilter()'s away all the tests I don't like to have here ;-) This seems to be a hacky but easy solution.
