School Network/Open Build Service

Summary

This is a Sugar Labs instance of Open Build System that is intended to be a:

• The place where software creators need to upload (directly or indirectly) sources to spread this software among the community.
• If uploaded software requires building phase, it will be automatically processed for all supported platforms.
• The resulting files will be accessible via sweets.sugarlabs.org and download.sugarlabs.org.
• The convenient instrument to create, using already uploaded software, 3rd party repositories with native packages for all supported GNU/Linux distributions.

The original OBS was patched to add Sweets support.
