Support for automated building of binary packages for a different packaging system requires three things:

• making all third-party dependencies which we use from Debian / Ubuntu available (e.g. PCL)
• update bloom to generate the necessary information for the packaging system (currently it supports Debians as well as RPMs)
• update the ros_buildfarm to run the actual packaging jobs to produce the binary packages of your choice

I would not recommend doing the packaging by hand simply because it:

• is a huge continuous effort and
• will likely always suffer from being out-of-date since packages get updated frequently and there are just a lot of them
