Rapidly and repeatedly generate RPM repository metadata
createrepo-agent is a tool for rapidly iterating on clusters of associated RPM repositories. It leverages Assuan IPC to create a daemon process which caches the metadata for each sub-repository in the cluster so that it doesn't need to be re-loaded and parsed each time a change is made. The most notable implementation of the Assuan protocol is gpg-agent, which gives createrepo-agent its name.
