That's because that URL is a web interface to a SCM repository, not a 
repository of SuSE packages.

Not for SuSE right now, no.

That's because the RPMs are for RedHat/Fedora systems which have 
different package names for some things. You could try forcing the 
install, but it's likely that the Fedora RPM won't put things in the 
right place.

If you want to install on SuSE, you'll need to do so via a source install:
