For at least the time being (and since a few months ago), the CentOS team has decided not to make the C5 source RPMs available in any yum-compatible medium, and have stopped shipping them alongside the binary RPMs to mirror for all but C6. I think it's not yet a GPL violation but I reported the bug because of the reduction in usability a week or 3 ago. No one's been available to generate the meta-data yet, but it's a simple task and should be addressed soon. I’ve discovered this command no longer works on CentOS, generally.
