Do you mean updating the packages files for download-on-demand repositories? We do have a script that does this, but generally we don't need to use it. Since we are based on stable
releases there is not much churn in the upstream repository. And after the system is fully rebuilt, we are building against our own packages from then on.
Coincidentally I just saw today that the newest version of OBS has better support for tracking moving repositories (http://lwn.net/Articles/690076/). I do not know whether this works for Debian repositories though. -John From: Lorenzo Faletra [eclipse@frozenbox.org]

Hi john, we tried OBS but we faced some problems with it because even if it's easy to use their debian 8 template from the central OBS instance maintained by opensuse, it is pretty hard to configure a custom build environment that uses our own packages archive, and even by importing the whole mirror as suggested by their documentation, the OBS environment gives nothing to keep it up to date.
Do you have any suggestions on that?
