A comps file is still needed when you do createrepo, but that comps file can live in any location, even outside the tree.

Again, call -g with another location. If you're recreating Fedora trees, have you looked at the pungi software? http://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/pungi -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
