repomd.xml for FC2 at least?

Hi John, I can't say about the metadata on the legacy repos, but I can
recommend that you use a local mirror (either local to your build machine
or local on your LAN) for building with mock or mach.  Going remotely for
all the needed packages is quite slow and will also be using a large
amount of bandwidth for both you and the repo you are downloading from. 
Plus, if you have your own local mirror, you can add all the metadata you
want :)
