Can you please add me too, bhcopeland.
Done, and started #obs on Slack, for future discussions. Open to anyone.
That is amazing we have access to OBS from opensuse. We have some work
internally in LKFT where we want to start build LTP so this might come
in really handy.
Great.
Btw, I got some good help on #opensuse-buildservice on Libera.chat when I started and had issues.
I assume you didn't end up wanting to use the salsa Ndec? Is that
because you already have buy in with OBS, (e.g. if you were doing it
from the start you might think salsa) or are there other reasons?
Salsa would probably makes sense, especially with our increasing use of gitlab (
gitlab.com or
codelinaro.org). So if there is an integration with Salsa/Gitlab which works easily, then I would be ok to use it. But I don't think we have something which can be used easily, and did not want to invest in that now. Especially because we've been using OBS since 2015 and it just worked.
We need to build packages, but also publish them, so we would need something in place to maintain a repo!
Although, cannot complain about having free amd64/arm workers!
To be honest, I wouldn't mind us paying them if/when needed. I don't know what their exact policy is with regards to 'free usage', but it wouldn't be totally insane if we needed to pay a fee.

I"ve been able to use it like we used the Linaro instance in the past, and I intend to use it for now, until we have a better alternative. We again need to support Debian users, and having our own packages archives is very handy.
