openSUSE uses clisp 2.44.1. This is from February 2008 and the latest version is 2.48. Why does openSUSE not use a more recent version?
Probably a maintainer resource issue. If you have interest in the package, maybe you could upgrade it and maintain it.
Correct as I'm out of time to hunt every version of clisp and currently there is no libffcall for all architectures nor does clisp work on all architectures which is very annoying (this is system inherent as clips uses architecture depending assembler code)
If I understand this correctly it will be a can of worms, especially for someone who starts. And I can only build for Intel/AMD 32-bit (maybe also 64-bit). Does that not disqualify me?
No it does not. You may use OBS for e.g. ppc.
One problem: You should have a good understanding about the creation of RPMs.
you may use my OSB spex as starting point :)
Do you have a link?
