When a new update set is released (ie 4.1, 3.5, etc.), only the latest [base] and [updates] are included in the main tree.
Taken together, the base and updates will be the latest version.
If you install from old media (3.3, 4.0) then you need to have [base] and [updates] in your yum configuration.
(or get the 4.1 ISOs to use as your [base])
So I can yust say
IT IS WRONG
Wrong or Right is not relevant
it is what it is
CentOS has been doing things the same way since it's inception ...
there were a lot of talks about it here:
When you install CentOS x.0 and you run "yum update" you get finaly lates CentOS X.Y ...
CentOS X.4 is CentOS X.0 + all released updates ...
and from your answer it seems it is gone CentOS 4.1 have diferent versions of SW then CentOS 4.0 + updates
I know CentOS depend on RH releases but presented strategy is brain dead
I have several servers with fixed setup and I have local mirror. Now it seems I have to mirror not only "updates" but "updates" and "base".
Before half a year there was talk about high bandwith, so lets download all the stuff.
If you want to have a local mirror ... then you need to mirror /centos/4/
it will always be up2date
This is the same with CentOS 3 and it is absolutely not a change to the way we have been doing things for almost 2 years
