Yes, I have, and it is possible. One can Build and Deploy packages to a third-party repository host. Gitlab is moving toward 
hosting repositories, but, for Debian at least (which is what I was looking at), the feature is experimental. And, if I recall 
correctly, the feature(s) required to do automatically triggered rebuilds (webhooks for example) are premium features.

Building packages involves configuring the Gitlab runner to utilize, for each distribution version image, the various 
distributions' packaging tools and configuration files in the Build stage. Maintaining the config files for each distro, IMO, 
might not be trivial. Take a look here at gbWilly's repo for Debian package config files for example:
https://gitlab.com/gbWilly/gambas3-debian-repository/-/tree/main/recipes/debian-3.19.5~debian12?ref_type=heads

The Deploy stage should be relatively simple depending on the distro.

I agree.


BTW, thank you for you work maintaining your OBS repo for Gambas stable for openSUSE.
