Building RPMs using OpenSUSE's Open Build Service in n easy steps

Get yourself an account on OBS, and create your home project
Get the CLI and build tool

$ apt-add-repository "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/xUbuntu_14.04/ /"                                             
$ curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/xUbuntu_14.04/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -                                   
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install -y osc build

Make a local workspace

$ mkdir obs-workspace; cd obs-workspace                                                                                                           
$ osc checkout home:<username> # then type in username and password

Set up your project to build for your targets - in this case, CentOS 6:

$ osc meta prj -e home:<username>

and add the following XML stanza:

<project>
...                                                                                                                                          
  <repository name="CentOS_6">                                                                                                                      
    <path project="CentOS:CentOS-6" repository="standard"/>                                                                                         
    <arch>x86_64</arch>                                                                                                                             
  </repository>
...
</project>

Create yourself a new package:

$ osc meta pkg -e home:<username> <new package name> # edit title and description
$ osc up # fetch a local copy of the new package
$ cd home:<username>/<new package name>

Add your files - spec files and sources
Build locally:

$ osc build CentOS_6 x86_64 <your specfile>

when it builds, fire it back up to OBS:

$ osc add <your project files>
$ osc commit
