How can I selectively install a package from the centosplus repository in CentOS 6.0? If I enable that repo and run a yum update, it would install other packages (newer kernels etc.) too. I just need one package from centosplus, but I'd like to get everything else from the base repository.

Use includepkgs= (I need only these packages) or exclude= (I don't want these packages) in centosplus repo file.

More info at

man 5 yum.conf

yum --enablerepo=centosplus install packagename should do this for you.
