It used to be like that:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Ente
ta method that doesn't
produce the exact same bits at the end ... you've probably failed. It
might seem like a good idea, but even if you go to the extreme lengths
needed to make it just for yum ... things like reposync won't be able to
use it, Eg.

"client" side should be truly trivial though. Dumping the installed
packages, which repos. they came from and the reason for their
install ... is probably like 10 lines of yum code.
If someone is doing this work, they'd probably do a bit more to get
more info. ... but agai
ould probably be merged with the inter distro. one, at some
point.

combined size of _over_ 750MB on x86_64, biggest 5 are:
6.2M wesnoth-1.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
12M hanazono-fonts-20100222-2.fc13.noarch.rpm
