The interchange format of the newer createrepo is very different then the older

createrepo is very small, and it's not YUM dependent. It simply reads the
metadata (via the rpm interface) and dumps out data in an XML format.. then does
a few more things as well. So porting the existing one forward shouldn't be
difficult. It's just not clear at this point what the best behavior will be to
do.. port createrepo forward -- or update smartpm to support the newer format
(with appropriate extensions.)
I still don't understand why introducing yum/dnf as a replacement for
smartpm should be avoided at all costs. Like smartpm, it's fully written
in Python, so that theoretically should be less painful that building
working binaries.
