David, I've done a very dirty script that add most famous third CentOS' repos:
---------------- # Add third part repositories for x86 arquitectures. # Jordi Espasa Clofent.
#!/bin/bash # check root id if [ `id -u` != "0" ]; then echo "Sorry, you are not root." exit 1 fi
# add Karanbar Singh's repositories /usr/bin/wget http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ /usr/bin/wget http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Misc.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/
# add Dag's repository. /usr/bin/wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.4-1.el4... -0 /var/dag.rpm /bin/rpm -Uhv /var/dag.rpm /bin/rm /var/dag.rpm
# add Dries' repository # There are several options. Uncomment correct option according your interests. /bin/echo -e [Dries]\nname=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch\nbaseurl=http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries/RPM...
/etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo
# install fastestmirror plugin to improve yum performance /bin/echo plugins=1 >> /etc/yum.conf yum -y install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
exit 0

Feel free to modify and adapt for your needs. I hope it will be useful. PD. Note is for x86 boxes.
