I believe primary holds the full list of all packages and much associated
metadata.  filelists has the list of all of the files in all of the packages.
Not sure what other has.

I don't think that there are other "comps" like files other than ones with
comps in the name.  Note though that there can be packages that are not listed
in comps at all.
