[Xymon] rpm for opensuse

Hello,

I have been using xymon on ubuntu for years and I am very happy with it. Recently I have to install xymon for opensuse-13.2, and could not find a suitable rpm for it.

I am considering the following options:

(1) build and install from source (2) build from sources, install using checkinstall to keep the rpm (3) build the rpm using OBS (build.opensuse.org)

What is the least painful option? I have no experience with rpm/deb building

Another question is which version is recommended for a long-term installation? Is there such a thing as stable and development version for xymon?

Regards, Tony
