Switching/adding repos in RHEL6

Hi forum

I am trying RHEL6 in the 30 days free trial period... I am considering to add CentoS 6 epel repos to add more packages... ( geez... RHEL repos are really tiny aren't they ?! :( )

I know I must change /etc/yum.repos.d/ and create some epel.repo with some content...

What do I put there to activate epel-6 repo...? I know this is already active...

I don't think CentOS 6 is out yet, though I'm not sure, can't seem to see it on their website though.

Code:

 name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch - Source

#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/SRPMS

mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-source-5&arch=$basearch

failovermethod=priority

enabled=0

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL

gpgcheck=1

Well here's my epel repo for CentOS 5, I'd assume you'd just switch the mirror url for the url to the epel 6 repo and put 1 in the enabled section, if it isn't already.
