I suspect those 440 rpms are from ComputeNode, Scaleable Storage etc. The larger problem I am trying to solve is being able to get a snapshot in time for the optional repos. from what I can tell, they seem to be out of sync amongst varients for code content that is shared amongst each other ( totally wtf! ) - the problem that it creates for *me* is that I cant workout what was the state of optionals when package Foo was built. Add another dimension to this : cant easily workout what the state of optionals was when a point release gets out of the door, making it even harder to get rpm manifests for 6.1 and so on. thanks for looking into this stuff, - KB
