Thanks.

I've managed to get rpmrepo under "make check" control with digest
verified content spew using popt-1.14-1.{src,i386}.rpm in a 2 package  
repository.

What I haven't tried yet is seeing whether rpmrepo data can be fed to  
yum.

I also have the apt-rpm equivalent(s) to createrepo started, and would
like to unify into rpmrepo over the next couple of week.s

Dag has a quite sensible mrepo.py script that automates repository
management of both persuasions. His problem however is dueling
tools, both apt-rpm and createrepo need to generate digests for
thousands of packages twice.

So any suugestions for integrating mrepo.py functionality
and apt-rpm metadata into rpmrepo.c are welcomed as well.
I'm not quite back to implementing yet, getting "make check" in
place on all cvs branches has been this week's funner.

Working nicely imho, several brain fart's easily identified.
