Hi, Mike, really, really sorry that I didn't reply to this... it somehow slipped through and I only noticed it now :( The real reason I have not gone forward with the packaging of createrepo-c is an IMHO severe licensing problem upstream as you can see at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/issues/106 - and so far there has been no response from upstream, and the only change in the cmake/Modules/ directory between the then-current version 0.11.1 and the now-current 0.15.5 is the addition of a new file with proper licensing information, but none of the problematic ones have been touched in any way.
