Please also keep us 3rd party packagers in mind when doing all that. Creating repositories for yast2 is a pain as of now (luckily, createrepo is very easy to use but doesn't do the repo signing either).
Not only the 3rd party packager, but eveybody who is interested in SUSE's processes.
Really, the repository signing thing in 10.1 must be the worst thing you did to us: no communication or beforehand information at all, barely any documentation, no ready-to-use scripts and everyone complaining that our repositories are not signed.
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." It is a pity that we still have to ask for a lot of information, instead of being given the information. :-( -- First we thought the PC was a calculator.
