1. Create a rsync cronjob. Something like that:

I'm using a user rights to do so.

40 4 * * * rsync -tvrl --exclude=rpm/ppc/ --exclude=rpm/src/
--exclude=rpm/x86_64/ --delete ftp.gwdg.de::pub/suse/update/10.2/
/srv/ftp/repos/10.2/update/     #repo: update

As u can see I rsync the files into that local folder
/srv/ftp/repos/10.2/update/

2. Then create a createrepo cronjob. Something like this:

5 5 * * * createrepo /srv/ftp/repos/10.2/update/     #createrepo

3. Add the local folder to Yast. In my case it's /srv/ftp/repos/10.2/update/

You need rsync and createrepo installed.

Enjoy

NB:
- with rsync you can query the all available folders of the particular
server. check the rsync man pages.
- using webmin will easy the cron handling.
