Yes, we had to wait for some OBS integration of the new cross
compilation method - I haven't seen any breakage to rpmlint-mini in my
builds.

I think you're actually on the right path, it's just that our testing
system failed last time python was evaluated. So, rpmlint-mini is
actually a method to embed some tools into /opt/testing , like python,
rpmlint, desktop-file-utils, so we don't need to directly follow
opensuse's.

I've sent review 314 for python for re-review by the testing system.

Hey, don't worry about it - I'm just glad someone wants to dive into
the nasty stuff other people never dares to touch :) I'm happy you're
doing it. Since we have continuous integration, we're not getting held
back due to this.
