I do like the idea of having one package per repo. It is similar to what Fedora has and that I've used when taking a fedora package for EL6. I think the disadvantage is evident only when wanting to build all packages at the same time.

I am sure there is/should be a slightly more efficient way than that. How about a repo that contains all the non-binary sources for all the packages?
