how can i see from which repo an installed package came from? thanks.
rpm -qi
i don't think so. for instance, i know mercurial is in the FC
"extras" repo, but there's nothing in
$ rpm -qi mercurial
that tells me that.

You may want to try yum search package

Street aren't one in a million, but once would be enough.
Note, that al this is not telling you where the package came from, but
only where you can FIND it (too).
I use additional repos like ATrpms and Freshrpms.
ATrpms puts "at" in its package name .... Freshrpms does not do that
example
$ yum --enablerepo=freshrpms list zvbi
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
zvbi.i386 0.2.22-5.fc4.at installed
Available Packages
zvbi.i386 0.2.15-1.2.fc4 freshrpms
If the package from Freshrpms was installed, I only can see it is installed.
The available upgrade would be from ATrpms .... that is NOT where it
came from !!
If anyone knows a "trick" so I can really see where it CAME from .. that
would be nice ....
