Crate rpm_repository

RPM repository interaction.

This crate facilitates interacting with RPM package repositories.

RPM repositories are defined by a base URL. Under that base URL is typically a repodata directory containing a repomd.xml file. This repomd.xml file (represented by metadata::repomd::RepoMd) describes other metadata files constituting the repository.

Files and data structures in the repodata directory are defined in the metadata module tree.

The RepositoryRootReader trait defines a generic read interface bound to a base URL. The MetadataReader trait defines an interface to repository metadata via a parsed repomd.xml file.

Concrete repository readers exist. http::HttpRepositoryClient provides a reader for repositories accessed via HTTP.
