I have rebuilt the following packages by using those included in
CentOS 4.5 and prepending a '0' to the release tag (and in some cases,
adding a dist tag):
createrepo
python-elementtree
python-sqlite
python-urlgrabber
sqlite
yum
For the yum package I also made a change to the yum.conf file which
gets installed so that it looks at redhat-release instead of
centos-release. CentOS users should not be installing these packages
due to the lower release number, so this should work nicely to allow
RHEL 4 users to install yum if needed.
I've put all the SRPMs here:
http://www.sheltren.com/epel/packages/
The sha1sums can be found in sha1sums.txt signed with my gpg key.
If these packages look good to everyone, I'm willing to coordinate
with the Fedora maintainers to get these into EPEL. If the maintainers
don't want to maintain the package in EPEL, I am willing to
co-maintain them in EPEL (or have someone else do it if anyone's
interested).
Thoughts, questions, comments?

I haven't looked at these packages yet, but I'm really glad to see this
work being done. I mentioned this on #epel a few days ago -- lots of
folks will be looking for yum to be there.
The selfish reason for me to want it is that Cobbler
(
) -- the not so
selfish reason is tons of RHEL4 users are already using yum for various
things (including maintaining their own repositories of lots of stuff,
including, sometimes, updates) and it would be nice if they could get
their yum from EPEL and use yum with EPEL if they wanted.
Thanks!
