Open Build Service VS Launchpad.net

In Fedora, mock[0] is used to build packages in clean chroot for multiple of distros. In SuSE, Open Build Service[1] I used. [0]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds [1]: https://openbuildservice.org. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap.
