Last I checked, createrepo support package groups, but not patterns.
zypper supports patterns but not package groups.  The only way to
create both is through OBS.[1]

Know of any non-OBS solutions to this?  Until then, I can understand
why people would opt for a meta-package that works with both
kickstart/mic (yum) and zypper (meego).

Thanks,

[1] I found a util. for converting groups to patterns, but I got stuck
in all the ruby dependencies.
