There is CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, but no Smart option to set it...

You should make a request (in Launchpad) for such an option,
meanwhile you can patch it in directly in smart/fetcher.py:

      handle.setopt(pycurl.IPRESOLVE, pycurl.IPRESOLVE_V4)

Strange version number, but ok... Ah, it's "1.3-54.1.un"
Doesn't look too different from the other suse packages:
e.g. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/smart/
Some extra "package-manager" helper, and lots of sysconf ?

The rest of the patches in the srpm are either not needed,
(smart-disable_deb_tests, smart-no-strict-aliasing)
or have been included upstream (1.2.1) and are redundant...
(smart-interactive-newer)
