may I suggest building your own mirror well before then, update it with
rsync or lftp weekly (or even daily), from http://mirrors.xmission.com/ce
ntos/5 (pick your favorite mirror to make the mirror from), and replace
your CentOS-xxx.repo files with ones that point to your private repo
I use a command like this to mirror everything and incrementally update,
you could change the last centos to centos/5 if you want to just fetch and
update that...
lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.sonic.net && lcd /mirrors && mirror
--continue --verbose=1 -x SRPMS centos'
(yes, you do need to find a ftp mirror, i had issues mirroring from an http
server).
This is especially important if you use anything from EPEL as EPEL5 will be
removed when RHEL goes EOL.
