It would merely be to have the binareis hosted 'off' the opensuse.org domain. If we can arrange for some DNS entries on opensuse-community.org for example, this would not cause a problem at all for me (my data transfer limit is 50GB/month at the moment of which I hardly use 1GB now).

I went down the ally and tried to link the sources from X11:Drivers:Video to my local OBS. Not surprisingly of course, this does not (yet) work, as the 'real' blob is missing in the Source repo on OBS (The user is supposed to download it before the build command). (I tried nvidia only... simply because I have those cards in all my systems and it would allow me to test the resulting RPMs).

Stefan, any good ideas on how we can achieve this to be 'more automatic' than it is now?

I think obs downloading pristine tar balls would be a Good Thing (TM) anyway, for various reasons, the most prominent being that it makes source file tampering harder: with this, an evil contributor needed to fake the original tar ball. So this feature also takes burden from the package maintainers. http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-tags.html#S3-RPM-INSIDE-SOURCE-TAG

Maybe integrating the 'fetch.sh' logic inside the spec file? I'll gladly offer my server for building the RPMs and I can host them on my server too, so we can get our users on track with a good experience... I would even build for Factory, but this would most likely cause some 'issues' on my side, as inter-obs does not link changing base repos that much (it typically end's up in a scheduler look).
