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.
