Hi,

There are plenty of examples how to commit either nightly builds or 
changes on commit. E.g. Kernel:HEAD builds kernels for various kernel 
branches and several other do nightly builds.

You can of course use the OBS for continuous integration, but if the load on
the openSUSE instance allows timely feedback is something that greatly 
depends on your commit rate - OBS will scale down the priority of your repo
once it built a lot more than other repositories.

We will collect some best pratises on this topic to avoid upstream projects 
doing the research from scratch, but I suggest to concentrate on nightly 
builds to start with.

Greetings, Stephan
