What are the requirements for createrepo? I ask because I have a FreeBSD box which happens to have a couple of bunches of rpms on it (don't ask), and the upstream sources don't appear to be doing yum data for me right now. So how much stuff am I likely to need to generate the data? How about older style yum headers?
