We had talked about this some time ago. It's confusing. I'll try to
explain.

There is a software called OBS, that's short for Open Build Service,
located at http://openbuildservice.org/. Basically you can use it to
build software for various distributions.

OpenSUSE uses this for its repositories, that is why the old name OBS
= openSUSE Build Service still sticks. But, on the installation that
openSUSE uses, you can also build software for Fedora, CentOS, Arch,
etc. pp.

I am using the OBS to build (and make available) packages that use the
upstream spec in the lxc-1.0.x.tar.gz. I suceeded in getting them to
build for various flavors of openSUSE.

As I said, the spec builds fine on openSUSE. I try to set up a fedora
container that I can use to test the actual build process.

If you want, try it out

I use the upstream spec with small changes (to fit it for openSUSE).
But these changes were mostly done using a %if-clause, so they only
apply for openSUSE. So building on fedora should not be troubled, at
least I hope...
