I've been working on a new version of createrepo that uses the
yum
modules to read in the package metadata. It's not really changing
createrepo fundamentally it just simplifies the code and reduces a lot
of duplication b/t createrepo and yum. However, one of the things that
comes out of this is the ability to create 'fake' yum package objects
comprised of data sucked directly out of koji.
The idea is that instead of getting a list of pkgs, getting the metadata
from them, then putting that metadata into the repodata xml format you
could just connect to koji with a list of specific packages you wanted,
request where the packages exist on disk (or a url to retrieve them) and
all the package metadata directly.
Is it related to this that currently
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-f9-build-current/ or
so are not accessible? I used to download rpms from here soon after
new rpms are rebuilt by yum.
