These are regular OBS packages except that instead of regular spec files, e.g., RPM {{Code|.spec}}, they might be built based on [[Platform_Team/Recipe_Specification#.5BPackage.5D|sweets.recipe]] files. It is a kind of meta packaging, but restricted by design. In comparison with sweet packages, these packages will be placed in the {{Code|/usr}} directory.
