Thank you for the testing, Daniel and Klaus.

Signing is planned. This was only a first step of creating indices.

Daniel, I see that your request pulled the older 
lm1100-1.0.2a-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm package and not the newer 
lm1100-1.0.2a-2lsb3.2.i486.rpm. Is it because your test distro is only 
an LSB-3.1-compliant distro? This would also mean that with the 
versioned dependencies on "lsb" in the packages I can mix LSB versions 
in one repository and yum finds the most suitable package by itself.
