I'm sure that if you mirror the repository then you don't need to run
createrepo.
If you add files to a master (ie not a mirror) repo, then you need to
update the metadata. RH and/or does it for the official Fedora
repositories: those who mirror the lot don't need to, but I prefer to
mirror with rsync excluding the metadata, and then build the metadata
myself.
