I'm building released tarballs only, and don't want to switch to using random 
git revisions TBH, so currently i'm at version 1.1.0, which is probably older 
than your commit, and shouldn't involve running autogen.sh, i think...

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Aedogawa is where my OBS 
"home project"  (their terminology for a private 3rd party package collection) 
resides.

basically you need a novell account, and can then either apply for becoming a 
co-worker in my project, or create your own project, branch packages or whole 
(sub)projects from my or any other project on OBS, modify them, create target 
repositories (different distros/distro versions) and request for submitting 
your changes back to where you branched from. All this can be done either via 
web interface or locally on your machine in a chrooted environment, via a 
commandline client called osc, that works in a similar way to git, with 
subcommands for checking out/in, showing diffs, submit requesting etc.

There's quite extensive documentation under 
http://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/ and also in the openSUSE wiki under 
http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Build_Service
