Force-activating createrepo when yum-createrepo is already active causes the following files to get moved aside:

Are these ports for the same software? Different versions, I suppose, but still.

Yes, they are for different (major) versions of the same software.

There's the "stable" series of createrepo that only requires rpm.

And then there's the "development" series that requires yum.

See ​http://createrepo.baseurl.org/

Same goes for yum-arch (2.2) and yum (3.2) ports, by the way.

See ​http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases

Guess I should mention that most of the ports are from 2007...

The latest versions (0.9.9 and 3.4) require a "different" rpm.
