There was some patches* for yum-metadata-parser last year,
to handle the lzma and xz compression in addition to gzip ?
Since those aren't built-in to libxml2, it needed to use
a temporary file and uncompress before calling parsefile...

If you're accepting patches now, could try and dig it up.

* In the end, it ended up not being used since the new
files used primary_lzma etc and the gzip was kept too.
When the xz compression *was* used, the sqlite wasn't,
so it I don't think sqlitecachec ended up being patched.

But it should be relatively simple to add lzma/xz to it.
