What createrep does is just add another section in the repomd.xml, it is just matter of convenience. We add the patterns using modifyrepo. To convert from comps to patterns, you can use this xsl file: http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-os-base/package-groups/blobs/master/bak/patterns.xsl But I am not sure why you want to do that, a pattern is a simple list of packages, so no reason to start from comps to get patterns. > > Know of any non-OBS solutions to this?
