This is definitely something for libzypp.
But I am not sure how this is supposed to work. If I understand this right,
this is about some techincal data fields not being available in the case of a
repository full of RPMs, not a YUM repo or anything else higher-level.
I am not sure, but this might very well be a limitation of those "plain RPM
directory" repositories. After all, there are no meta data where those detailed
data could be retrieved from. They would have to be read from each individual
RPM, because the information is only available from the RPM headers in that
case. That would mean each of those RPMs would have to be downloaded (unless
it's a local directory which is just one of many possible scenarios). This
sounds very self-forbidding to me: This would only be practical if it were a
very small number of packages.
Michael? Duncan?
