Comment (by afb@…):
When MacPorts was still creating .rpm files, there could be a need to
create repodata. But the Fedora version is only compatible with Fedora,
and keeping it working on other platforms is a hassle. And since yum
itself is obsolete, it seems even less worthwhile. Supposedly someone else
_could_ update it to 0.10.4, if they find there is a need for it. After
all, FreeBSD did find such a maintainer*. But there has been no interest
in MacPorts for it - until now (?).
