As I happend to join #fluxbox on the Freenode network a few weeks ago, I discovered
that the former maintainer of the SuSE packages wasn’t very active (read: inactive).
So I raised my arm and since then build the rpm-based fluxbox-packages for SuSE 9.3, 10.0 and 10.1 on i586 and x86_64.
They should actually work on most rpm-based distros not just on the mentioned SuSE versions.

If you use/try them on a different distribution, please let me know.

I build packages for every release as well as for (most) svn-revisions on a daily basis.
Besides that my packages contain 3 (IMHO) fb-extending patches:

1. * the mod4-patch, it swaps mod1 (left-alt) with mod4 (win-key) for move/resize of windows
2. * the svn-revision-patch, it changes the output of ‘fluxbox -i’ so it shows a correct version for the svn builds

The packages are maintained in a yum-repository and can therefor be accessed via yum,smart or the new Zen stuff used by SuSE.

You can find my repository here.
Please don’t download all stuff, I only share that via a 386kbit connection from $HOME.
