CentOS - Apr 2007 - Headers update frequency in local repo

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.

[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.
