The repodata (repository data) is a package manager-independent way of listing packages, their information, and their dependencies. It is in a directory named "repodata". Repodata is created using the createrepo command. This is in the "createrepo" package in almost all distros. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
