okay 'yum provides' doesn't produce a list of nevra it returns the list
of pkg in a form you can easily cut and paste to install the most
current one.

if you're doing a search like that you'll want to do:

yum provides whatever

the name.arch it outputs on the left of the results. Take that to list
out all the versions you want. Example:

yum provides kernel-devel
kernel-devel.i686 : Development package for building kernel modules to
match the kernel

yum list kernel-devel.i686
Available Packages
kernel-devel.i586               2.6.23.9-85.fc8        updates
kernel-devel.i586               2.6.23.1-42.fc8        fedora
kernel-devel.i686               2.6.23.1-42.fc8        fedora
kernel-devel.i686               2.6.23.9-85.fc8        updates


does this help?

The issue is I see there (as here) one version for each rpm+variant+arch per repo.

One repo (my archive) has, say, 3 versions of kernel-devel x86_64 (for fc8; the fc7 x86_64 repo has many many more); I want to get a list of containing all N versions, not just the most recent in the given repo for the given rpm+arch+variant.

I am getting a list which looks like the one you're getting.
