Yeah, I was afraid that was the case. I'd tried about everything in the man page.

Suggestion: What would be great from the standpoint of yum metadata is if we could query yum and have it tell us what repository delivered each package. Something like:

# yum list installed
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* fedora: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de
* updates: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de
fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00
Installed Packages
yum.noarch 3.2.8-2.fc7 installed fedora
yum-fastestmirror.noarch 1.1.11-1.fc7 installed fedora-updates
yum-metadata-parser.i386 1.1.0-2.fc7 installed fedora-updates
yum-updatesd.noarch 3.2.8-2.fc7 installed fedora-updates
yum-versionlock.noarch 1.1.11-1.fc7 installed local



As of this time there is no place to store the information of where a package came from.

-sv

We need such metadata in yum though. Maybe this 'place' could be added in the newer versions?

It is, in fact, on the feature list. We got a considerable amount of pushback the first time I implemented it b/c a lot of people thought the data should be in the rpmdb, not in a separate yum db. Various folks have given up since then and decided we can put it in a yum 'db' of some kind and query it from yum.


-sv
If the rpm folks don't want to put this really good metadata in the rpmdb then let's have yum do it in a yumdb. I'm all for that.

Regards,
Gerry
