Roll your own package, RPM repo, part 2

Roll your own package, RPM repo, part 2

(Part I, building the package, is over here.)

Part II. Create the repository

Prepare the environment in the server where the repository will be stored. Note: All commands from hereon, unless otherwise stated, are by root.
```
mkdir -p /srv/RPMS/{i386,i586,x86_64,noarch}
```

Add the package created from Part I.

cp ~username/builds/RPMS/noarch/this-package-1.0-0.1.noarch /srv/RPMS/noarch/

Generate the repository metadata.
```
createrepo -v /srv/RPMS
```

Sign the metadata and add the repository key.

cd /srv/RPMS/repodata
gpg -ba repomd.xml
gpg -a --export key-id > repomd.xml.key

Add as an installation source. (In this case, I'm using SuSE zypper.) Add the key to the trusted keyring.
```
zypper service-add -t YUM file:///srv/RPMS alias
```
Test by installing the package.
```
zypper in this-package
```
