since
5.0 to current level. This way I only need to feed
yum
with two repositories: centos/5.0/os/ and centos/5/updates/ -- some time will have local

If you install a Centos 4.0 now you can 'yum update' and you'll end up current with 4.5. I think this works because the [base] repository floats with the symlinks to point at one containing the updated versions of everything at the point release time. If you are talking about mirroring the contents you'll have to mirror the symlinked directory.

If installed with 4.0, and run a 'yum upgrade' will end up with 4.5 -- then, what are the repos configured for yum? Are the repos the following and ONLY the following (excluding custom ones)?
1, 4.0 base OS distro 2, 4 base OS distro (symbolic link pointing to 4.5) 3, 4 updates (symbolic link pointing to .../4/updates/..., which means updates since 4.5 sub-release)
Is the above right? or you have even omitted #1 (4.0 base OS distro repo)? Thanks.
