rpmstrap

Andrew Pollock reports that there is (finally) an rpmstrap.

Finally, indeed.

I have set up RedHat chroots in the past, by manually downloading some file, manually filtering out the list of packages that are relevant for my architecture, manually downloading them, and manually running rpm --root, or whatever they use to set the root directory; but it wasn't pretty. Being able to say here's a directory, there's a mirror, I want this, go do it for me would be...great.
