you mean out of the repodata. But if the repo is made by anything
resembling a recent createrepo it is not out of the xml - it's out of
the sqlite dbs. I only quibble b/c I want to try and stop referring to
the repodata as xml or sqlite or anything other than repodata so we can
transition off of any given format w/o a terminology change, too.

Also - in your patch you call:

r.getPackageSack().someotherfunction()

you can just do:
r.sack.someotherfunction()

sack is a property so it will automatically get instantiated when you
ask for it.
