Hmm, "changing the metadata format", no, "adding the new metadata format" is what should happen. All of ayo.freshrpms.net works with apt, yum 2.0.x and also has the new metadata ever since createrepo 0.3.something came out. The transition is as smooth as it can be since the same URLs work transparently with yum 2.0.x and 2.1.x... I really don't see how easier it can get? Could you please explain a bit more in details in case I'm missing something?
