We had tested the flavors of rpmmd with the Download on Demand parser, and tested in practise with Fedora/Red Hat and openSUSE/SUSE Linux variants, to be sure it works.

No, createrepo kills us. It's much too slow and uses too much memory.
Dumb question: what in the nature of generating a package index requires the memory usage to scale in proportion to the number of packages, instead of being O(1) (constant)? Or is creatrepo's algorithm just, uh, sub-optimal? -Archie -- Archie L.
