The rpm command allows you to list the available query tags (fields) and then construct custom query formats on the command line: $ rpm --querytags | wc -l 183 $ rpm --querytags | head ARCH ARCHIVESIZE BASENAMES BUGURL BUILDARCHS BUILDHOST BUILDTIME C CHANGELOGNAME CHANGELOGTEXT Anyway, in this case I don't think it'll help directly as the package installation repo is not stored in the database (rpm doesn't know anything about yum or repositories) but is retrieved from the yum metadata. I think that yum-utils and repoquery are available for RHEL5 (in EPEL iirc) so maybe you can do something with that. Failing that if you just want to differentiate the list of vendors above you can probably do this via the RPM Vendor tag instead. Doing this on my f15 box I see: $ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{VENDOR}\n" | sort | uniq Fedora Project (none) Red Hat, Inc. RPM Fusion Then you can break that out by vendor by adding in the name and grepping: $ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME} %{VENDOR}\n" | grep '(none)' gpg-pubkey (none) bibble5 (none) chromium-libs (none) kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 (none) gpg-pubkey (none) kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.3-18.fc15.x86_64 (none) gpg-pubkey (none) v8 (none) gpg-pubkey (none) chromium (none) kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.5-22.fc15.x86_64 (none) gpg-pubkey (none) Not ideal I know but it may still be useful enough - e.g. all those "gpg-pubkey"s are a bit annoying - the summary field reveals more than the other headers in that case: $ rpm -q gpg-pubkey | xargs rpm -q --queryformat '%{SUMMARY}\n' gpg(Fedora (15) <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) gpg(RPM Fusion nonfree repository for Fedora (14) <rpmfusion-buildsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) gpg(RPM Fusion nonfree repository for Fedora (15) <rpmfusion-buildsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) gpg(RPM Fusion free repository for Fedora (14) <rpmfusion-buildsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) gpg(RPM Fusion free repository for Fedora (15) <rpmfusion-buildsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) Regards, Bryn. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
