These days it is a lot of work to get a library ready for the
distributions and github now has a built-in CI (git hub actions) that
lets projects run through all the build and in some cases runtime
tests needed often and automatically.
For instance we build rdma-core for Centos 6,78, Fedora 31, Ubuntu,
SuSe, cross compile on ARM and PPC, all automatically and all drive
from a fairly short script in the source tree, so anyone can
contribute.
The release process to .tar.gz (and distro packages if we wanted) is
also automated via the same. Push a tag and all the release stuff is
done and the right .tar.gz appears automatically in the right place.
It is nothing so unique, but having everything nicely integrated in
one place makes it possible for a project to spend a small amount of
time on CI and administration stuff instead of a large amount :)
