Build-service

De Build Service is niet het enige systeem voor het bouwen van pakketten, laten we een beetje beter naar die andere systemen kijken.

Building for multiple distributions
Automatic rebuilding on dependency change
Open System – nice integration with IDEs, Forges and tools
Collaboration features which makes working within -devel projects and the main distro far easier. This significantly lowers the barriers for participating in openSUSE.
Automatic dispatch to world wide mirrors. For upstream projects this is a very nice feature to enable them to provide fast local mirrors for our users.
User friendliness. Using OBS one can start as a novice packager using just the web interface and progress to more advanced features using OSC.
Automated quality control within the build system: rpmlint and post-build checks.
Setup on a new system for a private OBS is now quite easy to accomplish for a reasonably competent Linux user.

Note that the list below is not complete.

Project Builder is a tool for multi platform continuous packaging, it seems to target single projects.

Fedora Koji is the build system that Fedora uses to build their distribution.

Launchpad is not only a package building platform but a complete code hosting platform together with mailing lists and bug tracker.

The Mandriva Build System is used to build the Mandriva distribution.
