comparing audiofile and agetty, I find these elements to be blank:
<spi:vendor />
<spi:requires>
    <rdf:Bag>
    </rdf:Bag>
</spi:requires>
in my rdf but not in the tsl rdf.

rdfgen lists a whole shitload of these kinds of messages:
Missing resource for package imlib2-loader_jpeg-1.0.5-1nxs.i586.rpm:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
Missing resource for package imlib2-loader_jpeg-1.0.5-1nxs.i586.rpm:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
Missing resource for package imlib2-loader_jpeg-1.0.5-1nxs.i586.rpm:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)

so I can guess at a reason, but as for a solution, I'm blank...
I don't really want to add the entire trustix tree to my repository..
if rdfgen was capable of generating resources pointing to a different
tree (like the official mirror) that would be nifty indeed.

One should always plan for the unexpected ;)
but I don't think the output is fine with normal behaviour either...

root@ryoko /usr/src/trustix# swup --upgrade

Fetching upgrade info
'http://tenchi.4th-age.com/nexxus/2.0/rdfs/latest.rdf'.0/i586/Trustix/rdfs/latest.rdf'

swup should insert some newlines, so that it list one latest.rdf per line.
but maybe you haven't tested swup against multiple repositories? :P

I didn't know this list existed, but now that I do, I'm moving this
thread here...
