I missed ListPackageSack; I'll go look at it, thanks.

Right; I do create the instance pointing to some existing repo's, so I
have something to put into the yumbase initially.  I was just checking if
there is a better way to do this than to create a yum.conf configuration
file, on the fly, for each run.  Mock does this, by including a yum.conf
template in its configuration, so I'm assuming not.
