  Yes, tried that; hit a tonne of dependencies.

Yes, I've contacted the packager, but obviously he'll have his own 
priorities which I can respect.

Building XMLTV requires a bundle of perl modules (which funnily enough 
the same packager submits for openSUSE), and some aren't available yet 
for 11.3, so it then becomes a job of trying to build all the necessary 
PERL modules as well; the body is willing, but the build skills aren't 
up to it.

I've also highlighted the issues with 11.2 to him, as 0.23 doesn't even 
appear in YAST for 11.2, but the RPMs are listed on the Packman site.

Attempting to manually install the RPMs for 11.2 results in failed 
dependencies for a later libstdc++, which when manually installed from 
the factory site breaks openSUSE, so dead end there.

Cheers
