The RPM headers seem to be the lingua franca here.


Not all the information.... the comps information is not contained in
the rpm headers.
And the metadata concept is flexible enough to include other things
that end-users need, such as notification text to tell update clients
why updates are being offered. or to flag updates as security
related...contextual information that makes very little sense as part
of a header of a single package, but only has meaning in the context
of the repository in which the package is found.
