Quoting http://en.opensuse.org/Secure_Installation_Sources

  "This is very simple to do:

      cd <repository directory>
      createrepo .
      gpg -a --detach-sign repodata/repomd.xml

  You can also use -b instead of --detach-sign for it is shorter.

  To supply your GPG key right with the source:

      gpg -a --export <your key id> > repodata/repomd.xml.key"
