What I did was to rename the --json to --mongo, since it was actually writing JavaScript rather than JSON... Then the --json was fixed to output regular markup, which you could still use as input for MongoDB too ? But I think we discussed this already, earlier: http://rpm5.org/community/rpm-devel/4857.html > And the implementation has mostly sat there since last May while I have dealt > with other matters like generating an income. Ditto here. The proof-of concept did seem to work, including a Smart loader for the MongoDB package store... http://rpm5.org/cvs/chngview?cn=16151 + friends https://code.launchpad.net/~afb/smart/mongodb I don't think I ever saw a XML checksum error reproducer, or whether it (and rpmrepo) just didn't matter anymore ? Backported everything back to createrepo-0.4.11, instead.
