I am curious. Could i just substitute the ftp for http? I like the releasever variable as it means that every time a new version comes out i don't have to go editing my conf file.
The best resolution for this often asked question is : use an ftp mirror.
sure you can, $releasever and $basearch are always resolved in yum's config files, for any type of url in the baseurl= field.
so you could have a baseurl=ftp://ftp.somehost.come/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
