I don't have Suse Linux myself, but my educated guess would be that these Suse packages would not have a tick unless all the dependencies are pretty much sorted out. Even if they are not 100% sorted, it will only affect minor elements of Inkscape's overall functionality.
I would be interested to hear from others on their experiences with these packages. Heanthenx??
Same goes for other systems, particularly Fedora - are the instructions on the Inkscape front page and download page correct, and what is your experience with the packages?
Just to clarify: OpenSuSE has three official packages branches: oss, non-oss, and update (plus a half-official one, called packman).
Additionally SuSE offers somthing called "build service" where one can provide self-built packages which didn't already make it into the official tree. This is nice, but when you have to take care of a lot of clients you cannot add a new package repository everytime that an actualized version of a program is out.
First, this means work. Second, this will get confusing very soon. And third, there still is a rest of risk as it's not officially SuSE who's providing the packages.
For that reasons my aim would be to make the SuSE responsables to bring 0.46 into the official tree.
