OK, here's a SRPM for FC3 - input is welcome.
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~jeff/legacy/legacy-yumconf-3-1.fc3.src.rpm
The spec file is here:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~jeff/legacy/legacy-yumconf.spec

Notice there are separate repo files for base, updates, updates- 
testing and utils.  I think this goes better with the new yum.repos.d  
format than having only one repo file.  Also, both base and updates  
are enabled, testing and utils are not enabled by default.  I think  
this is a sane and safe default, but I'm open to suggestions.

When building for FC5, we'll need to disable all repos by default.  I  
will proceed with that package once we all (or most) agree on this  
one :)
