Additionally  from what i saw  of what they were wanting to offer  you would 
submit a tarball  select  what you wanted a rpm for and it would go and build 
it.   that scares me as it is  not a reproducible build.  i.e.  what voodoo 
did they do to get it built and to get you a spec file.  

Last i looked at a SuSE spec file i cried.  it was extremely ugly.  they have 
zero BuildRequires in there spec.  they are relying on voodoo in their 
buildsys to bring in the necessary BuildRequires. 

Maybe i'm wrong, i have not been following the service  just going from what i 
remember reading.
