The Open Build Service (OBS) is a generic system to build and distribute binary packages from sources in an automatic, consistent and reproducible way. You can release packages as well as updates, add-ons, appliances and entire distributions for a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures.
Your users can always download the latest version of your software as binary packages for their operating system.

That way you get an automatic, consistent and reproducible build of your software so you always know what you deliver to your users. There is also no need anymore for you to maintain a lot of different OS installations on a lot of different hardware architectures or to deal with "compiler farms". Let the OBS help you to concentrate
