What did it used to say? rpmsync is just cooksync (the old link) with command-line argument support. It shouldn't say "Use fmirror or rsync to create a local mirror and keep it up to date." Certainly it doesn't make a difference how you create the mirror (although rpmsync can handle that too), but definitely rpmsync should be used to keep it up to date. The default settings in the script have it set to sync from uninett, and there's a README that comes with the package explaning how to set it up for Cooker (in which case you'd only need to change the remote mirror possibly and the local path).
