Right now I'm running F8, kernel 2.6.23.8-63.fc8.

I've setup a local yum repository, which gets updated via a cron job.
The log files show a number of newly downloaded updates.
No updates were showing using only my local repo until I ran
createrepo against the dir containing the base, updates and repodata
directories.
So, after a few days of no seeing anything now my system picked up 82
new updates. That was good.

The question is:
Do I need to run createrepo every time new updates are downloaded?
Does createrepo need to update the metadata file for checksums and such?

What do you use to mirror updates to local?
I use rsync with kernel.org - the updated repodata files get pulled in as well, I do not have to regenerate them.

I use rsync -avrt ${source} ${dest}
