In Fedora, mock[0] is used to build packages in clean chroot for multiple of distros. In SuSE, Open Build Service[1] I used. [0]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds [1]: https://openbuildservice.org.

I wish more software developers would use Open Build Service and create many packages for many distros: https://openbuildservice.org/.

OpenSUSE also provides it’s own instance of openbuildservice.

You can look at Open Build Service (OBS) and you can try it for free in OpenSuse OBS.

i’m referring to a different OBS, https://openbuildservice.org/ which is i.e. a better AUR.

You are describing what SUSE Studio used to be. Now there is Open Build Service, but imo it is not as simple as Studio used to be.

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. More information can be found on openbuildservice.org.

The amazing tooling:
– YaST, the best configuration tool out there. I think its fair to say that nothing comes close to the number of things you can configure with Yast.
– Open Build Service (OBS), a tool that automatically builds binaries for software and sets up repositories to add to your favorite package manager. Supports every major linux distro but intergrates especially well with the openSUSE software…

It has an OBS instance, the openSUSE Build Service, that is similar to the AUR, and also has the OBS Package Installer.

The Open Build Service is a tool to build and distribute packages and distribution images from sources for all Linux distributions. All openSUSE distributions are built in public on an openSUSE instance of OBS at https://build.opensuse.org; this instance is usually what is meant by OBS.

Https://openbuildservice.org/ is one way to produce distribution packages across a wide selection of distributions, if your source code is open.

As fair as I understand, OBS is indeed a suitable replacement for AUR right now.

OpenBuildService is better in every way, is fully opensource everywhere and can even generate packages for ubuntu better than launchpad appears to, and can even build entire distros. No special integrations are necessary, it can cost-effectively work with a highly paralellized number of virtual machines (iinm 100 or more on generic threadripper or epyc).

Suse’s OBS is another option, and there are likely others…

Good idea, give it a try. I’d recommend Kubuntu or Mint with Cinnamon. I switched to KDE for KDE Connects’ amazing smartphone (Android) integration, which I recommend srrongly to try. Switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed myself, best KDE implemention IMHO, rolling release and the software selection is great, whats missing from the repos can be installed via opi, a client for [0]. It is not that newbie friendly though,…

Try it on openSUSE, the best KDE integration by far IMHO, since it is their standard DE since IDK/forever? Tumbleweed offers the newest packages, rolling like Arch, but with a huge test battery on OBS (https://openbuildservice.org/). Snapshots on upgrade make the thought of breakage (haven’t had any) tolerable. Disclaimer: very happy user.

Have you tried openSUSE Tumbleweed? It is a well tested rolling release (https://openbuildservice.org/), with snapshots on update via btrfs. With the opi package you can install: chrome, codecs, dotnet, msedge, msteams, plex, skype, signal, slack, teamviewer, vivaldi, vscode, vscodium, zoom and more. Brave is app I am missing so far, but having the newest version KDE and other software that required a PPA on…

For anyone into packaging and building software I can really recommend SUSEs open build service, https://openbuildservice.org It’s really powerful. Checkout what opensuse is currently building here; https://build.opensuse.org/monitor.

There currently exists no CI offering that provides support for all of these. Especially the rarer hardware platforms are difficult to find support for. There is one rather strange exception though. The Open Build Service, developed and hosted by SUSE, provides a free to use (and open source!) build infrastructure to be used for building packages for a range of Linux distributions on a very wide range of hardware…
