Ah, excellent, so we already have our volunteer. I saw your posts on 
packaging, Michael, but didn't know you had taken over maintenance of 
SUSE packages for Parrot. Much appreciated.

This will be an enormous help. That way, when we come up on a 
"supported" release (1.4, 2.0, 2.6) that would be a candidate for 
inclusion in the distribution, we will have had plenty of testing (and 
plenty of opportunity to fix any problems) before the release is cut.

Does the spec file currently in ports/suse/parrot.spec.suse match the 
one you're using? If not, would you be willing to contribute your 
changes back?
