Except for the scripts that were alrerady in SUSE, I have not seen many ready-to-use scripts from SUSE. > We don't have 40h a week to work on the RPMs we build, so it would be > really nice to have some smarter scripts that do all the necessary stuff > (including repo signing), just as you most probably already have for > Factory. > > And, of course, please consider writing a somewhat more extensive > documentation about the whole thing (even if it's just in the wiki). Not only documentation. It would be also great to have a place where we can see the scripts SUSE is using. Now it looks as if you are saying: "We are open source, but we don't tell you how we do it."
