Can't speak to the SL repos, but why not use the EL5 repos from the
various packagers directly? This may not be pretty, but can be managed
with good success by a combination of yum protectbase and priorities
plugins as recommended in the Wiki:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories
I have flash, mplayer, acrobat reader, and java (not libdvdcdd due to
legal rather than technical issues) working on CentOS5 with a
combination of RPMforge and home-built packages:

Adobe Reader is part of the Adobe Acrobat family of software,
which lets you view, distribute, and print documents in Portable
Document Format (PDF)--regardless of the computer, operating system,
fonts, or application used to create the original file.

original document, and virtually any PostScript(TM) document can
be converted into a PDF file. Adobe Acrobat Reader have a plug-in
