They both use rpm+python to do all their work - it would just be a matter of making yum read from the locations that r-c-p supports and making r-c-p support yum-repos. the information contained is identical - yum even uses the comps.xml file now for groups so that part is done. If someone at red hat is interested I'd love to talk more about it. it would mean existent repositories could be useful with r-c-p and mirror-admins wouldn't need to have multiple types of data eating up space for holding the package-info. -sv (one of the guys who wrote yum)
