I can see clearly that you want to automate it for your own package trees so that people can effectively subscribe to 'fetchmail of the day' or similar things. For that you might want to look at Dag Wieers stuff since he's rolling 500+ packages for several releases all the time.
Pointer?
google:dag wieers 8)
I found it, and then I found the ring he's part of (ATrpms, dag, FreshRPMS and newrpms).
Hmmm....
Perhaps these people should *be* Fedora extras? Looks to me like the community has already evolved a rather well-functioning set of apt repositories. and I like the no-single-point-of-failure aspect of what they're doing.
Is there some reason for Fedora not to farm out the extras job to people who seem already to be doing it competently?
