Very interesting. Perhaps this is something we ought to look at in GENIVI.
Yep :)
At the minimum it's a useful service for local developers as it can be
quicker than a local machines. These images are also available to testers
and it makes sharing easier.
So a summary might be, the speed of cross-compilation without the
headache of cross-compilation?
What's *really* interesting is that it has a BOSS interface .. so you can
drop it into a process and build an image whenever an SR arrives.
SR == Support Request?
Submit Request ... the mechanism OBS uses to promote a package from one area to
the next; experimental->testing->stable/RC
That can
then be fired into OTS and the results used to determine acceptance of the
SR. Of course you don't even need to use OTS - just building an image can
highlight many issues.
OTS? What be that beast?

As it says, developed by Nokia and used to run image based tests. We're planning
on doing an image-based regression test to determine acceptance of each package
into Trunk - ie if you fail regression then your package is rejected.
