It takes up to 24 hours for all of the mirror sites to catch up.

However, the tarballs were uploaded to the FTP sites several days ago,
so you should be able to fetch the code already from any FTP mirror,
even if your favorite WWW mirror is still behind.
Look under source/v7.2.1/ if you do not see a v7.2.1 link at the top
level of your FTP mirror.

The links didn't exist until just a little while ago so most of the
mirrors won't have them yet.  source/v7.2.1 does exist tho.  RPMs aren't
available yet.
