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?
This can be inferred from the "Signature" field. I add this in
with a sed script, attached, that adds a repository named based on the
"Key ID". There would be quite a bit of work in coming up with a general
set of Key ID <-> Repo mappings.
If your local packages are signed, you could use this approach as
well.
Cheers,
- Bill
