Provide OpenSUSE / SUSE Enterprise Server / RHEL binaries

[hzeller]

OpenSUSE is a linux distribution used in the wild, so it would be good if we could provide release binaries for it as well.

Unai, do you think this would be easy to do ?

The user in question uses SUSE Enterprise Server 12.

I can't find SUSE Enterprise Server containers. There are https://hub.docker.com/r/opensuse/tumbleweed and https://hub.docker.com/r/opensuse/leap. Hence, it should be possible to generate pre-built binaries for opensuse, but I doubt those can be guaranteed to work on different versions of it.

Might be already a good starting point. In particular if we bulid the binaries mostly static s we already do for the rest ( BAZEL_LINKOPTS / BAZEL_LINKLIBS).

(In the particular case, it turned out that the user was then abel to run binaries we built for Ubuntu 16, so that particular distribution might've been pretty old, libc-wise)

[hzeller]

While at it: RHEL is also often used in some enterprise contexts. Are there also RHEL containers we can use to build for these ?

[umarcor]

With regard to RHEL, see #1301.

Since we now have static binaries https://github.com/chipsalliance/verible/releases
... more efforts for various Linux distributions might not be needed anymore
