createrepo - where should I run it?


I am building a local repository.
Top level is /repo
currently I'm building out /repo/CentOS/7/
this directory has mirrors of base epel extras updates

The goal is to have the lowest number of repositories possible while avoiding conflicts.

Is it safe to run #createrepo /repo
What is the highest safe level to run createrepo, assuming that /repo/CentOS/8/ may also exist in the future.

for centos 7 and centos 8 you must use different repos, do not mix them.
