hw repository for sles10

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

Matt,

repo signing for sles is basically just: 

    gpg --batch --no-tty -ab $i/repodata/repomd.xml
    gpg --batch --no-tty -a --export libsmbios > $i/repodata/repomd.xml.key

I'll add it to our scripts.

Do you know what the steps are to sign a sles10 repository?  As noted
in Michael Brown's blog post about OMSA 5.4 being in the testing yum
repo, we don't know how to make sles10 repos quite perfectly.  If you
can provide the steps, we can do it...

Thanks,
Matt
