repo madness

[Tom Horsley]

Is the createrepo being used to update the development repos hosed?

I submitted this bug this weekend:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208778

Today, it was working for a while and I got some stuff installed, then
after rebooting to get new kernel tested (sometime after 7pm eastern)
I couldn't find anything in extras again.

Examining the primary.xml.gz file in the yum cache shows it really doesn't
list lots of the things I can see in the directory when browsing it
with a web browser.

Also the RepoView pages in the repodata subdir says there are 3000 some
odd packages in the repo, but again the primary.xml.gz file says more like
1000 packages.

Why do the repo contents keep coming and going? (Are they being hosted
on FC6? :-)
