In addition to Fedora and CentOS, I'm now building rpms under SUSE 13.1,
both i686 and x86_64.  As you noted, some minor changes to the lxc.spec
file where required and I'm sure I didn't get all of them.  I had to
delete one "BuildRequires: systemd-units" and a couple of lua-requires
but lxc-top is not working, so that needs some work.  Seems to be a
missing module somewhere but is not needed for my purposes.  This gets
me to the point where I can run lxc-create from 1.0.4+ on SUSE for
building more SUSE containers, which I should be feeding over to
Stéphane in the next day or so along with some patches to the
lxc-opensuse template.

What I've done was to build two VirtualBox VM's (yes I could have used
KVM but I already had VirtualBox on this system) for the two openSUSE
13.1 arch's.  In them, I built them up with all the build pieces needed
and built the LXC 1.0.4 rpms and installed them.  From that, I built
openSUSE containers, which I transported to the host system.

At that point, I no longer needed the VirtualBox VMs.  The openSUSE
containers run just fine with some network fine tuning and I've been
able to reproduce the process of building the LXC rpms and building
OpenSUSE containers within containers which can then be immediately
accessed from the host.  Boostrap complete.

I'd really like to look at your changes for lxc.spec but I may not be
able to do much with it over the next week.  With luck, we may soon see
OpenSUSE images for the download template.
