You're creating a different set of repodata in primary/repomd.xml if
nothing else.

Now - someone using suse/mandriva will find a problem with how it makes
those and, when googling for where to report it, file a bug at
createrepo.baseurl.org. 

that's what I mean by confusion. It's the same problem I have whenever
there are patches into red hat or fedora yum/createrepo that don't make
it into upstream. This is why we try to never have those.

Do you see what I mean?
