Group lists and group "dependencies" are the only place where arch doesn't even exist, eg joe and vim-X11 are optional packages for that group no matter what the architecture. Similaryly "foo-devel" requires "foo", the arch is irrelevant. The other part of the answer: yes, repoquery (from yum-utils) supports --queryformat somewhat similarly to rpm queries. - Panu -
