It's really very easy. The good thing is that one can do local
builds for just about any platform, then push to the server so
that it can build and publish for the users. There's also a

Agreed.

Here's an example of cluster-glue:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=cluster-glue&project=network%3Aha-clustering

Note that one still needs to devise the rpm specfiles and debian
rules (though I never tried to build a debian with obs).
