We currently don't do a createrepo on those, mainly because yum didn't use it correctly, so we didn't do it. But we can easily put it into our script so that it does a createrepo in the SRPM directories. About missing src rpm's. Can you get me a list of what is missing. It is often that our handmade rpm's get missed, because they don't go through the usual channels. I'm certain I could quickly make a list, but right at the moment I am swamped, and it looks like you already have a list.
