In my exerience, if you add or delete packages from the repository you'll need to regenerate.
Mostly adding - because hdlist needs to know about the new packages - but if you remove packages it's a good idea because even if your modified comps.xml doesn't refer to the package you removed - it
may effect the dependency chain.
If you simply modify comps to install only a subset of packages, you won't need a regen.
You can safely regen... what's your concern?

Ok, so I joined this list more or less to pick peoples brains... mmm brains...
I am rebuilding/rebranding RHEL, but I am not creating ISO's. Do I still need to rebuild the comps and rpm-db packages, or can I get by without them?
Thanks.
