Hi all,
I'm trying to build a local repo as a mirror of basic repos ([Basic], [Update],[Addons], [Extras],[CentOSPlus]) and popular third part repos ([Dries],[DAG] and [kbs]). The doubt I have is
¿Is needed that I regenerate the repo headers [1] every time when I've updated the local mirror repo [2]?
[1] Eliminate old headers and generate new ones with createrepo script. [2] I'll use rsync tool to syncronice the repos.
Thanks in advance.

[1] Eliminate old headers and generate new ones with createrepo script. [2] I'll use rsync tool to syncronice the repos.
[2] Synchronizing the repodata should be sufficient. If that fails to work properly for specific cases, fall back to [1].
May want to consider using mrepo from Dag/RPMforge.

Ok Phil, so I understand that create initial headers is also unnecesary if you sync all the repo content (packages, repodata... etc) I supose you need create the headers when you mantain your own repo, but not when you only have a mirror of third existing repo.
¿Am I in right?
Thanks.
