Hello Ben,

The SUSE spec file[1] mostly matches the rhel/openvswitch-fedora.spec.in
one from the OvS tree, but because of the different packaging policies
between the two distributions, we need to adapt it a little bit. Our
spec file is also adapted to build on RHEL and SUSE (note all the %if
0%{?suse_version} blocks there).

The rhel/ directory currently has quite a few spec files and most of
them only make sense for RHEL. I can perhaps commit the spec file from
[1] as openvswitch-suse.spec.in and then we can rename the directory to
'rpm' since it would then hold spec files for multiple distros. Would
that work?
