Hi, Thanks to you and to everyone else for the offers to help! I have restarted my work on packaging createrepo-c after a bit of a hiatus, mostly because of the licenses (IMHO they are indeed a showstopper, since the Debian archive should not contain files with unclear licensing), but now that has been resolved, I've made some progress packaging the newer versions. Joining the RPM packaging team on Salsa does indeed seem reasonable; I'll upload my work there in the next couple of days.
