i don't quite understand this - is mirroring the metadata needed ? i produce
my own metadata for the archive i run.. i'm not sure how mirroring daniel's
metadata is useful unless rpmfind is (auto?)configured to look for metadata
in a number of different places.

i'm still having rpm2html issues on solaris - i hope they get fixed one
day but for now its just luck it appears whether it'll work or not. i
am hoping this problem might go away when we upgrade from 2.6 -> solaris8.
