No yum mirrorlist for FC2

I pulled the jpackage.repo file from the "yum repositories" section on 
<http://jpackage.org/repos.php>:

<http://jpackage.org/jpackage.repo>

After enabling the fc repo, I discovered that there's no mirror list file 
for FC2. I'd previously been using this mirror listed on the repo page:

<ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.6/fedora-2/free/≥

Also, the Harvard mirror isn't listed in the generic mirror list here:

<http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage_generic.txt>

I'm using yum-2.4.0 and am successfully pulling packages from JPackage with 
the following exclusion in fedora.repo:

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=file:/opt/Fedora/FC$releasever/RPMS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
# exclude Java packages, we get those from JPackage
exclude=ant ant-core bcel commons-* jaf jakarta-regexp java*
 junit* mod_jk* mysql-jdbc mx4j servletapi tomcat xalan-j xerces-j
