Hi Stephan,

I understand your time problem. In fact, the "One hour" is the kickstart. Update is poweron VM, dnf update, git clone & rpmbuild x.y.z, then scp *.rpm to website. 10 mins. It could be scripted on your dev server if any VM manager is available from it.

You can also use automatic build plaform as COPR (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/) for RPM, and Bitbucket for Debian/Ubuntu (native). Bitbucket accepts OSS projects for Free.

With BitBucket, it's possible to configure personal runners for CI/CD (systems with pipeline client installed, as RHEL, Fedora, Windows, etc...). The pipeline scripts can build, test and generate the packages automatically, depend on system runners. 
As CI/CD, the process is automatically done after commits in git repo... A lot of work to make it in place, but when it's running, the delivery process is done
This is also possible with GitLab and other big platorms.

Maybe you should try. 

For my curiosity, I've just clone ELOG repo on Bitbucket to try the process. That's pity : pipelines are currently broken (incident traced in status page https://status.atlassian.com/). 
The goal is to build elog and pkg file for Ubuntu (docker images list : https://status.atlassian.com/). Next steps should to create a AlmaLinux VM to try RPM builds. 

Have nice day,
Laurent
