I can generate the data, however I was told that the latest official FC2 yum did not support the newer metadata. Did you hand update your yum?
Yep, I installed the newer yum to get the more efficient metadata representation. (The tricky part was that one has to hand-update any customized yum.conf to include the new /etc/yum.d files, as yum.conf is marked noreplace. But this might have been addressed in more recent packages by a post scriptlet.)
Eventually FC3 will move to Legacy and will need this, so effort to set up the mechanism wouldn't be wasted.
