Just provide an spkg and let the others test (and review) it... ;-)
(until we get more build slaves, running these distros.)

> William posted a few weeks ago he was wanting people to administer
virtual machines. Unless someone is going to do this for the latest
OpenSUSE, then I can't see how we can support it. I already admin two
machines myself which are buildbot slavs (''hawk'' and ''t2'').
----
As mentioned on sage-devel, a work-around for a Bash broken by Sage's
readline is to set its `RPATH` or `RUNPATH` (with `chrpath`). We could
give a hint to that in an error (or warning) message in case we detect
installing our readline would break `bash` (but don't know for sure using
the system's libreadline will work for us).
