how are the core, extra and community binaries generated?

Hi, I am new here. I have read all documents but still have a question regarding core, extra and community, not aur.

From what I understand:
1. open source developers make software
2. people decide to include it
3. package maintainer download and test build in chroot on their local
4. package maintainer sign and commit the source code
5. ????
6. user uses pacman to download and install binary

I am wondering what happened at step 5. Where are the binaries generated, on mainainers' local machine, openSUSE or any other build machine?

Is there an introduction document for step 5?

Thanks.

They do not sign nor commit source code, but rather the built package.  This is the same thing users then download and install.  There is no step 5.

Any of the above.  It's up to the maintainer.  I suspect some use build servers like OpenSUSE's, but many just build on their own machine (in a clean chroot as described here).

Unfortunately Arch lacks any infra for package maintainers to upload PKGBIILDs to and get them built and distributed to T1 mirrors.
