Well I was thinking about this in relation with Fedora's Plague Server
( http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague ) which seems to
have somewhat of a similar purpose :

* Plague is a distributed package build system, suitable for building
a whole Linux distribution (like Fedora Core), or for building
additional packages (like Fedora Extras)

* The openSUSE Build Service provides an infrastructure for the open
development of future SUSE Linux-based distributions.

Both have a "compile-farm architecture" for different target platform (archs).

The projects seem to solve similar problems.
