They are on our centos.org machines now, external machines will catch up

HOWEVER ...

The default mirrorlist will right now point people to who use /5/ 
($releasever), and ask for a mirrorlist, to 5.2 ... take a look here:

http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os

(substitute extras, updates, centosplus for os to see the other repos)

The above is what DEFAULT users use to get updates, so they will start 
getting updates now if they run "yum upgrade".

People who modify their CentOS-Base.repo may be delayed ... BUT, we have 
to announce BEFORE we shift the main links, not after.  We can't have 
people downloading updates before the announcement through the default 
methods ... so the links you mentioned are on the way out now, after the 
announcement.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
