Noob Question, what to do when a repo dies?

Now that repoforge is down how would I go about installing OpenVPN.

The tutorials I've seen online all use repoforge.org

This is how I started it off last year, but now that my box expired and I'm switching to a new provider I have to set it up again.

Yes I know I could use Nyr's script but I'd like to do it myself so I can learn for the future.

Since repoforge is dead, and hasan't worked for the past few weeks what should I do.

These are the steps I usually take when installing OpenVPN.

wget http://openvpn.net/release/lzo-1.08-4.rf.src.rpm
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild lzo-1.08-4.rf.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh lzo-*.rpm
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release*
yum install openvpn -y
