Adding CentOS 5.6 to a local YUM Repository
NB! Please read creating a Local CentOS YUM repository on CentOS 5.x before implementing.
Adding CentOS 5.6 to the YUM repository script
Create the following additional directories for CentOS 5.6:
mkdir -pv /var/www/html/centos/5.6/{os,updates}/{i386,x86_64}
Add the CentOS 5.6 repository to the bash script which will rsync your local YUM repository server with a CentOS 5.6 YUM mirror.
CentOS Mirror list http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30
vi yum-repo-update.sh
#!/bin/sh
# This script will create a local CentOS mirror via Rsync
# Note: This script will download CentOS 5.6
#
rsync="rsync -avrt --bwlimit=256"
mirror=ftp.is.co.za::IS-Mirror/centos
verlist="5.6"

Upgrading from CentOS 5.5
If you are already running CentOS 5.5 or an older CentOS 5 distro, all you need to do is update your machine via yum by running :
yum update
