You seem keen to promote this, as you posted the same reply twice.

It's not the same thing at all, or even very comparable, AFAICS.

Your site produces a Fedora COPR. One of the people on the COPR team spent 10 min trying to explain to me what COPR meant at a Flock conference a few years ago. The actual answer is:

"It's a PPA but for Fedora instead of Ubuntu."

SUSE OBS does not build repos and it does not build openSUSE packages. I am running native Debian packages on Ubuntu right now built on OBS (Waterfox, notably.)

OSB builds anything for any OS. It's basically a free public CI/CD server, and it's platform-neutral.

I have not checked but I believe it can also build Windows and macOS binaries as well.

The same point has been made twice, so the response is identical..?

> "It's a PPA but for Fedora instead of Ubuntu."

So I'm not sure the analogy holds 100%.

I, as a software developer, want to distribute my SW. I use COPR to build RPMs that run on any RPM-based distro, e.g. openSUSE, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, ...

You, as the consumer, can enable the COPR repository and consume my packages (or you can manually download the RPMs if you prefer).

That is indeed different. Thank you, I might take a look at OSB.
