The packages on www.securityenhancedlinux.de are older versions. 
This day I've not enough time to build new packages. There are a 
lot of differences between the original Red Hat based SELinux 
patches and the SuSE packages. 
I use the SELinux packages on my SuSE and it runs fine. If I ignore 
some problem the new selinux 2.4.20 kernel on SuSE. I don't like 
the original SuSE kernel with the lot of backports :-(
If anybody like, we can build newer packages.

Carsten
