Hi.

I thought I might set up my CentOS 6 system with a source rpm repository 
config, so that I'll be able to download srpm files via "yumdownloader 
--source" or similar. I'm thinking that in order to this, I have to add 
something like the following to the yum repos config:

    [base-source]
    name=CentOS-$releasever - Base (SRPMS)
    baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/SRPMS
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

    #released updates
    [updates-source]
    name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates (SRPMS)
    baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/SRPMS
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6


The question is, what I specify as "baseurl"? The above does not 
actually work, as http://mirror.centos.org/ does not have SRPMS 
subdirectories, although I believe it did in the past for earlier 
versions. So, does anyone know of URLs I can use instead?

Thanks,
