I still don't understand why you need to "convert" the repositories,
they are the same format!. The only thing you need to do is to share
them. That is, point ZYpp to smart repos or viceversa, which you can do
with symlinks. If you need full sharing, you can automate the creation
of these symlinks.

Either smart sees smart channels and ZYpp sees also smart channels
Or ZYpp sees ZYpp repos and smart sees ZYpp repos.

Of course, if we add the ability for ZYpp to recognize the .channel
extension too, then it would be as easy as change zypp.conf

reposdir = /etc/zypp/repos.d

to

reposdir = /etc/smart/channels

But for your needs, symlinking would be enough, and if you want to
automate it, you can use UNIX power for it.
