Here is a quick synopsis of what is required to install createrepo on Arch in

Arch server:

AUR Package Summary (in order to build/install):

   beecrypt
   rpm  (THIS PKG IS ORPHANED, BUT STILL CURRENT FOR rpm-5.1.9)
   yum-metadata-parser (OUT OF DATE -- updated PKGBUILD below)
   python-iniparse
   yum  (the 'depends' line in the PKGBUILD must be fixed - see below)
   yum-createrepo  (OUT OF DATE -- updated PKGBUILD below)
   kid
   repoview

Couple of questions:

(1) Should we do a wiki page on this?

(2) What do we do about the "orphaned" rpm package in AUR? Shouldn't that package have a maintainer? I'm not that skilled in packaging/patching or Makefiles so I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable taking it on, but with something as needed as rpm for handling repos that will be stored on Arch servers, this should definitely have somebody looking after it. What is the process for getting a new maintainer for it?
