Hello,

I cannot reproduce the problem, I tested the repository and it works
for me. Repository metadata is generated automatically, so there's not
much I can do.

Have you tried issuing a "yum clean all" and retrying?

5.2 is very old and unsupported even by the 5.2.z channel upstream, I
think you might need to update to at least 5.3 to get the sha256sums
used in the "new" (from 2009 onwards) createrepo that's in RHEL:

http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/yum-createrepo-hashlib-rhel5centos5-and-sha256sums/

I suggest you to upgrade to 5.7, but if you want to update yum/rpm
only just follow the first steps in the CentOS 5.3 release notes.

BTW; I made a few changes to the repository, they are in the changelogs.

Regards,
