These are the yum repo settings I use ATM.  I see I still haven't
updated my own configuration to the final URLs, but there are
redirects in place that will get to them anyway.  I guess creating
mirrorlists wouldn't be a bad idea ATM.

There isn't, I was sort of waiting until we had stable URLs to point
to, but now that this is no longer an issue, I'll look into
introducing such packages.
