SLES 10 is application compatible with SLES 9 with the following differences:
The Driver Build Service is part of the Partner Linux Driver Process and shortens the time between Novell releasing a SUSE Linux Enterprise kernel update and vendors releasing matching drivers if Novell had to keep the updated kernel back because of a security embargo.
You may file appliations for the build service when you are Gold or Platinum technology partner of Novell. You can file the application for the build process via Bugzilla. To finish your application, attach the source rpm to the bug. We will then evaluate the request and after approval build the driver for you, starting with the current kernel, and then again for every update kernel we make. We then provide these rpm to you for validation.
The next step for you is to create a Installation Repository with the driver RPMs. Instructions on how to create these are located here
The openSUSE Build Service provides an infrastructure for the open development of future SUSE Linux-based distributions. It gives software developers a web-interface with which to release and publish their software easily and quickly for a broad user audience. Our service provides a complete distribution development platform to create your own Linux distribution based on SUSE Linux. Packages can be built for SUSE Linux on various architectures. For more information go here.
openSUSE participates in Google's Summer of Code. This gives students the chance to work on an open source project in the summer and get paid for this by Google. More details can be found in the Student FAQ.
