i find that when new software comes out, it takes a while to get the update quickly. i have been asked by the inkscape folks if i would be interested in packaging rpms for opensuse.
as new to this os as i am and not being a programmer, not afraid to learn though, would someone be interested, having the time, to walk me through the process? i know the software is available, and i think it's loaded on my machine.
is it that complicated?

Dwain, Check out the program "krpmbuilder". I believe it shows up in Development in your menu. It will be a great help in building a proper rpm with spec file and help you in better understanding what is going on with the process.
Grab a couple of spec files from other programs source to compare and get a feel for the process. I think you'll find yourself up to your armpits in compiling very quickly.
