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? ~af
