I packaged or ported a number of tools already: EMBOSS, Bioperl,
Biojava, Pfaat, Artemis, Jalview, ClustalW, sim4, GBrowse, plus a lot of
support Perl modules. I also have a package for T_coffee, but never
heard back from the authors about redistribution, as the documentation
says you need their permission first - maybe you could help there.

That's what I did at work - yum for FC2 and good old autoupdate for
FC1/RH. That's not visible from outside, though, and I fear the
legal/bureaucratic process to host the repository for external access
would be long and complex (there's no lack of hardware or networking
connectivity).
As another post suggested there is a very nice repo for bioinformatics
and expression analysis called BIOrpms (
http://apt.bea.ki.se/). Its
maintainer is Bent Terp (cced).
Perhaps you want to join forces and have your packages submitted with
his site? The DNA (dis?)assembling tux logo is also very cool :)
The repository actually started on my pages at the local LUG, which
is,
from time to time, what I point struggling biologists to. Unfortunately,
the box is a bit underpowered to handle load spikes, so I never made any
public announcements. I was just hoping to simply kill the repository
once Fedora had a streamlined submission process, but that's apparently
still in progress.
