Hi,  
I am running SuMA 5.0 on Sle Micro 5.5.  
I am trying to create my first debian custom software repository.  
Doc is somewhat scarce and looks like written for insiders.

[OfficialDoc](https://documentation.suse.com/suma/5.0/en/suse-manager/administration/custom-channels.html)  
…  
You can only add a repository to the SUSE Manager with the Web UI if it is a valid software repository. Check in advance that needed repository metadata are available. Tools such as `createrepo` and `reprepro` are useful in this regard. `mgrpush` can help with pushing a single RPM into a channel without creating a repository. For more information, see the man pages for `createrepo_c` and `reprepro`.  
…

Where do I find more doc on createrepo and reprepro?  
I have seen createrepo --help and reprepro --help - this is not documentation, just a reminder of options, does not really explain much.  
I am lost.

Thanks for any hints.
