Just a few quick notes here. There is as yet no repository offering Xiphos and Sword for SL. You can easily Yum the Clucene and development package from SL repositories. I decided to grab Sword and Xiphos SRPMs from the Fedora 13 Updates repository.
Sword builds after you satisfy the other dependencies using Yum. SL has them all, except Waf. You’ll need to pull that from FC13 SRPMs, too.
Xiphos is a bit more ticklish. The SPEC file calls for xulrunner-devel-unstable, but that has been obsoleted by the latest xulrunner-devel package. So I simply edited the SPEC file and changed that to match the reality. It built fine from the xulrunner-devel and works as it should.
