Actually, you do not need to maintain whitelists manually, just having
createrepo automatically whitelist all the file deps it finds
referenced in the indexed repo would solve most of the problem.
+1. Proposed it already on some other place.
If you want to be fancy, you could also add an option to pass it the
url of another repo is should inherit whitelists from (for updates,
epel, etc)
+1. This could be nice improvement of the idea above.

Manual whitelists will go stale fast
