Does anyone know if there is any truth in that or are they just doing something crazy?
Scenario: 1. a system with no prior wine installation. 2. try installing Crossover with only rpm <package>. 3. failure.
BUT:
1. a system with no prior wine installation. 2. try installing Crossover with zypper in <package>. 3. works. (at least for me)
In the first case rpm simply fails b/c missing deps. In the second case zypper pulls in the deps. "yast2 -i <package>" uses zypper, works.
ToDo: Test with other package managers under (open)SUSE (e.g. smart, apper, yum, ...)
Someone with a @opensuse.org or @suse.(com|de) should contact Crossover to give a 'offical' hint howto get it to work just fine.
Some would see it as a stain on the honor of openSUSE, I'm a little more pragmatic.
None the less, a correction of the cited article would better the image of openSUSE. (marketing / promotion)

That info is untrue. I've been using Crossover on openSUSE since their first plugin product. I installed the latest version of Crossover 12.01 rpm without any problems on 12.3 X86_64. - -- Cheers!
