In addition to that, it kind of makes not much sense to use the
macros $basearch and $releasever in the repository name, but
hardcoded '3' and 'i386' in the baseurl. Just use $releasever and
$basearch there, too. It's easy to forget hardcoded versions after
an upgrade, and then you would still access old repositories.
