You didn't give me some packages, so now I'm giving you some! R, TexLive, LyX, Gnumeric, etc.

I want up-to-dateish versions of TexLive, R, gnumeric, emacs, but on a
more-or-less stable base of Centos-5.2.  I asked for packages in this,
but got no answers. So now I've built them and will let you try them
if you want. I used the source packages from Fedora 8 and 9.

I wanted TexLive because many of us have jumped ship to Ubuntu Linux
8.04 and it does offer TexLive, and the compatability across systems
became an issue.  With Centos5.2 shipping the years-out-of-date tetex,
we were seeing things compile differently across systems. Making
TexLive compile and install required a re-build with a newer version
of poppler, but not with the absolutely newest version of poppler.
Replacing poppler required a rebuild of evince.  After emerging from
dependency hell, it all seems OK.  I uploaded the src.rpm files for
the packages that I actually had to re-configure, even in the
slightest.  Otherwise, everything is in Fedora 8 or Fedora 9.

We use LyX to edit LaTeX, so I had to have a newer version, along with
pybliographic (which required recode).  We also use Emacs and auctex
to edit LaTeX, so those had to be built as well.

All of these packages were built on a stock Centos 5.2 system, with
all components as usual EXCEPT for the ones I provide below or the
packages that can be downloaded from EPEL.  As far as I can tell,
everything works as well as it does on Fedora, no better.

Go here in your web browser to look it over.

My PGP key is in the top directory

http://pj.freefaculty.org/Centos/PaulJohnson-BinaryPackageSigningKey

And under i386 you should see I've created an RPM repository.

I don't have any i686 machines for which I'm doing this work, sorry.

To use yum, I think you should specify the repository as

[kups]
name=Extra Packages for Centos Linux 5 - $basearch
baseurl=http://pj.freefaculty.org/Centos/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Here is a package list (look under i386/kups/packages).
