It would be much easier to use OpenBuildService [1] for package build.
It supports many distributions and architectures.

If you don't care that it's openSUSE infrastructure you/we could use
build.opensuse.org to build packages e.g. for RHEL/Centos/Fedora,
openSUSE/SLES, Debian, Ubuntu and others (I did so in the past.)

At least openSUSE/SLES packages could be also build on armv7l and e.g.
ppc/s390x ... for other distros we have to check.

The question is: should we build packages (and which) or is this more a
task for the distributions?
