PackageKit + the openSUSE Build Service (yes it can build package for
Fedora, RHEL, Mdv, Debian and Ubuntu as well, so it is not specific to
SUSE).
PackageKit is what openSUSE now uses for update notification. With a
different backend it work with other distro. (PackageKit is developped
by RH folks :-) )
openSUSE Build Service would be on the software vendor side to build
binaries for the distro the use is using a providing repositories.

Or I misunderstood your problem.
