Right, the the update repo won't even probably work with createrepo.
It's so because of the .info files included and needed for patching
diffs. Am I right? Thus createrepo will work with any repo but the
update one. At least I didn't manage to create those .info files all by
myself´ and w/o them I couldn't apply patches.

For any other repo, one can use the repodata folders from servers but I
found out that there is sometimes a substantial time lag between
uploading rpm's and updating repodata folders. Thus I create my own
repodata's.

Cheers
