No, it's in the standard yum repo and just works. If you rsync from a public mirror to your own then there is no need to run createrepo as you'll be syncing all the metadata too. Make sure you yum clean all on the client too or it will continue using the old metadata until it expires.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

As always, run "yum update". If your kernel is that old you are way behind on all sorts of patches.
