For my RHEL/CentOS 6-only repos, I use "-c cache --update -C" for createrepo
flags.
For 5-only and 5/6, I use "-c cache -s sha"

I dont know about the sha but i believe 5.8 got xz support in rpm. I:d be curious to see
what happens if he updates.

Hello,
I am trying to update my systems to centos 6.2. I am having an issue with the
repositories for 6.2 on a CentOS 5.7 Cobbler server. It tells me "unable to read
group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your
install tree." However, the repositories work just fine if I point an existing
centos 6 server to them and try to install anything from them. Its only when I am
kickstarting and trying to install over HTTP that this fails.
To get this to work, I had to remove the repmod.xml and redownload it from my internet
source. Are the createrepo flags needing to be changed a bit to support both operating
systems?
From:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deploym...
Because RPM packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are compressed using the XZ lossless
data compression format, and may also be signed using alternative (and stronger) hash
algorithms such as SHA-256, it is not possible to run createrepo on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 to create the package metadata for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 packages. The
createrepo command relies on rpm to open and inspect the packages, and rpm on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 is not able to open the improved Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 RPM package
format.
