comps.rpm must die.

Don't bother - you're better off helping get the anaconda CD stuff
generalised so yum/pirut can use it.

It's on my task list, but I've been swamped.  As Seth said it's not
really a metadata format issue, and we have code in anaconda to handle
this, it's a developer time issue.

If you are interested in helping feel free to contact me directly by
email or via irc (nasrat on #freenode).
