It's just a matter of calling "createrepo /dir/to/rpms/" to turn them into
YUM repos. For 10.0 those would work out of the box with YaST or yum.
That'd be one for Eberhard I would think, it is his server after all ;)
ISTR this was trialed at one point[1]

first aspect: the yum support within apt4rpm/aptate is discarded currently
(needs investigation, current results are not sufficient).
To make it fully clear: "APT can generate YUM repositories
quite easily" was a hope only, in fact it is wrong, false,
no, not yet, what ever you need to understand "nope".
second aspect: all my "suser-people" should try to do as much as possible
of the "repository generating" steps at home in order to
assure a just-in-time repository appearence as much as
possible.
I will surely not get a new server this year like I think I need (quad
Opteron with 32 GB RAM, 15 TEuro money at least), so we have to care that
the current server(s) will stay able to fulfill their tasks within time.
ftp.gwdg.de alone already lacks this requirement these days, so I have
delegated the every-4-hours-APT-refresh to a second server. I really
can't extend this service further, and in fact it is already too much
hassle under professional aspects.
