Even better for community support would be to package the above programs

Yes, but my intention was more like to make a appliance. Install on a
clean system, have it installed on a box, and just put a away in a corner
That works until one of the programs has an update. Then if it hasn't
been packaged like the rest of the system you'll have to throw your
appliance away and build a new one. If it has been packaged, a simple
"yum update" takes care of things whether its in the centos repository
or some external one added to the yum configuration.
And if you do happen to want an appliance with exactly this set of
programs, you can still get it with "yum install your_list_of_programs"
or you can package your configuration script with all the others as
dependencies.
