yes, feel free to link to our page.

Don't copy the rpm and provide it on your page, because rpm-packages have 
dependencies to other packages and so they can't be installed without 
installing the dependencies. This is managed with the package installer tools 
included in the distribution (YaST, zypper, smart, apt, ..)

Here is a exsample  how other authors are providing links to or site:
http://qsfm.sourceforge.net/ 
(using the one-click installer a feature of the SuSE-installer)

And/or simply point to the explantation how to include our site in the 
SuSE-distribution:
http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories
http://packman.links2linux.de/ (site is available in several languages)

I can send you my spec-file, with small tweaks it should be usable also for 
Fedora (other names/releases for the packages) and other rpm-based 
distributions.

Some small packaging related "issues":
A) don't use hardcoded paths in your sources and config files:
# adjust path to ogre
%__sed -i -e 's|/usr/local/lib/OGRE|%{_libdir}/OGRE|g' \
	bin/plugins_linux.cfg
%__sed -i -e 's|/usr/local/lib/OGRE|%{_libdir}/OGRE|g' \
	lugre/src/lugre_scripting.ogre.cpp
%__sed -i -e 's|/usr/local/lib/OGRE|%{_libdir}/OGRE|g' \
	lugre/lua/lugre.lua

on 64bit machines SuSE uses /usr/lib64, for 32bit it uses /usr/lib. It would 
be great to pass the libdir as a parameter to the premake call.

B) The lugre makefile is missing a check for wxWidgets include statements, so 
I added:
%__sed -i -e 's|-I/usr/include/OGRE|-I%{_includedir}/OGRE -I%{_includedir}/OIS 
`wx-config --cflags`|g' \
		lugre/CMakeFiles/lugre.dir/flags.make

C) And as I provide also a Caelum package, it would be fine to have a config 
option tu use a system installed Caelum instead of the internal provided.

D)
openal vs openal-soft, the name of the include directory differs:
find lugre/src -name '*.cpp' | xargs %__sed -i -e 's|OpenAL/al.h|AL/al.h|g'
find lugre/src -name '*.cpp' | xargs %__sed -i -e 's|OpenAL/alc.h|AL/alc.h|g'

These are not really issues or showstoppers. Just to simplify  packagers 
work :)
