I have rebuilt the following packages by using those included in  
CentOS 4.5 and prepending a '0' to the release tag (and in some  
cases, adding a dist tag):
createrepo
python-elementtree
python-sqlite
python-urlgrabber
sqlite
yum

For the yum package I also made a change to the yum.conf file which  
gets installed so that it looks at redhat-release instead of centos- 
release.  CentOS users should not be installing these packages due to  
the lower release number, so this should work nicely to allow RHEL 4  
users to install yum if needed.

I've put all the SRPMs here: http://www.sheltren.com/epel/packages/
The sha1sums can be found in sha1sums.txt signed with my gpg key.

If these packages look good to everyone, I'm willing to coordinate  
with the Fedora maintainers to get these into EPEL.  If the  
maintainers don't want to maintain the package in EPEL, I am willing  
to co-maintain them in EPEL (or have someone else do it if anyone's  
interested).

Thoughts, questions, comments?
