[Yum] Creating complete repository

[Chris Kittlitz]

Same problem, different phase...

So I get a list of dependencies, and then I try to resolve them using
repoquery --resolve.  However, some dependencies are of the following form:
  dependency: python >= 2.4
  dependency: python(abi) = 2.4
  dependency: python-elementtree

I know how to resolve the last - repoquery --resolve pythone-elementtree.
But how do I do the second?  What does "(abi)" mean and how do I include
that information when I am resolving the dependency?

Thanks!
