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 itself is obsolete, it seems even less worthwhile.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 (?).
