I'm not really an FE expert, but I'll give it a go :-)

Normally, I'll run build locally to make sure everything is OK (this is
optional, of course). Then, I'll build using the FE build system (this
happens on i386, PPC and x86_64). This enables everyone that is
subscribed to FE Development to get the new package for testing in the
next few days.

The idea is that if there are FC/FE users using libapreq2 out there,
they will file bug reports and let me know if the package is broken.
Sometimes I'm the guy that hits problems (e.g. -fno-strict-aliasing).

When the service says "good", it means "I can build the thing on my
build platforms".

PS. If you question is "does the build run 'make test'", the answer is
no.
