Most likely not. But some 8.1 pkgs could very work on 8.2.
So anyone wanting to produce "current SuSE RPMs" of their product needs to make 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2 versions? Shawn Gordon was right. This is a ridiculous situation.
Yes and no: As long als all libraries you need are in a compatible version on all 4 distributions, you need only one for 7.3.
I have a Qt application nearing completion, and was going to release it under the GPL. Even doing "just SuSE" RPMs is looking like more trouble than it's worth. :o(
But you will have this problem with all Linux distributions.
