+# The Open Build Service (OBS) Integration
+
+The Agama installer packages are built in the openSUSE [Open Build Service](
+https://build.opensuse.org/).
+
+## Staging Project
+
+The [systemsmanagement:Agama:Staging](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:Agama:Staging)
+contains the latest packages built from the `master` Git branch. This project
+contains unstable development version of Agama. It is intended for development
+and testing.
+
+The packages are automatically updated whenever the `master` branch is changed,
+see more details below.
+
+## Development Project
+
+The [systemsmanagement:Agama:Devel](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:Agama:Devel)
+contains the latest released version of the Agama project. The packages should
+be more stable than in the Staging project.
+
+These packages are updated manually when a new version is released.
+
+## OBS Synchronization
+
+The automatic OBS synchronization is implemented using the [GitHub Actions](
+https://github.com/features/actions). The actions are defined in the
+`obs-staging-*.yml` files in the [.github/workflows](../.github/workflows)
+directory.
+
+Because the process of updating a package is the same for several packages
+the definition is shared in the [obs-staging-shared.yml](
+../.github/workflows/obs-staging-shared.yml) file.
+
+The packages in staging are updated only when a respective source file is
+changed. That saves some resources for rebuilding and makes synchronization
+faster. But that also means the packages might not have exactly same version.
+
+### Details
+
+The packages in OBS are updated by running the OBS service which downloads the
+sources from GitHub and dependencies from other repositories (Rust or NPM
+packages).
+
+The process of updating a package is basically:
+
+- `osc co systemsmanagement:Agama:Staging <package>` - checkout the package
+  from OBS
+- `osc service manualrun` - update the sources and dependencies by running
+  the OBS services locally
+- `osc commit` - upload the changes to the OBS server, it will rebuild the
+  updated package automatically
+
+To run the services locally you need to install the OSC tool and several
+packages with the used OBS services:
+
+```shell
+zypper install osc obs-service-cargo_audit obs-service-cargo_vendor \
+  obs-service-download_files obs-service-format_spec_file obs-service-obs_scm \
+  obs-service-node_modules
+```
+
+The `rubygem-agama` package uses a different approach because the Ruby packages
+use `*.gem` files which are not supported by OBS services. It uses the
+[osc:commit](https://github.com/openSUSE/packaging_rake_tasks#osccommit) Rake
+task, same as the YaST packages.
+
+### Package Versioning
+
+### Staging
+
+The packages in the Staging project use a version built from the last released
+version with a number of commits in the `master` branch since that release.
+
+The version is automatically constructed by the OBS service, for the
+`rubygem-agama` package the version is built using the `git describe --tags`
+command.
+
+### Devel
+
+The Devel packages use the release version (a Git tag) without any additional
+number of commits.
