You get complete control of the build process. And you get to carry patches to address gaps in the package you are building. Building userland apps is much easier than kernel, libc and some gnu-based gear (like you would with Linux from Scratch). Or that's been my experience. > I saw the suggestion to try and use a suse repo. That sounds like a recipe for trouble to me. Fedora packages are tested together to ensure dependencies are compatible. Between suse and fedora I think you're liable to run into dependency troubles.
