There is a built in Puppet type for yum repos. The docs for it are
here: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#yumrepo
You could also use a package resource with a sourch of the rpm,
something like...
package {"virtualmin":
ensure => present,
source =>
"http://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/i386/virtualmin-bleed-release-1.0-1.rhel.noarch.rpm";,
provider => rpm,
}
