You should get up to speed on osc. As a dev, it is one of the crown jewels of opensuse. In general it works best if tied into OBS (opensuse build service), but it works standalone as well. I mostly use it in conjunction with OBS.
I already maintain kernel drivers in OBJ just so I don't have to deal with that locally. My main problems with using OBS are (1) We use many 3rd party tools that are not in RPMs or even open source. How to get those in to a local OBS seems iffy. (2) We do not package our source or results in RPMs. Source, when not present, comes from an SVN repository.
Also, as we do software development more than software packaging, compile/test is more the norm than compile/package/install/test.
I do like the idea of OBS for many things. Not so sure about it as a development environment. Is anyone else doing that? I would love to hear how that works.
Roger, I was highlighting your question about chroot's working, and yes they are working with all of the distros in my first email. As to using OBS as a dev env I don't remember details, but a lot of companies setup a private OBS build farm so they can control how it works in detail. You will have better luck asking on the opensuse-buildservice list than here. You may be able to turn your new computer into a self-contained internal OBS server!
