I wrote a script that converts a git source repository into a redhat
src.rpm.  We use it at my $dayjob.  How about doing something like
that?  After you have a src.rpm you can create rpms that you can
distribute using yum.  You are already using rpm which is why I
mention it.  Converting a directory of rpm files into a hostable
repository is as simple as `createrepo /path/to/rpms/`.

The git project has a 'make rpm' target in its Makefile that you could
use as an example.
