If you run "rpm -qia| less " you will see a lot in the 'Packager', 'Signature' and 'Build Host' fields that can let you infer much about where a package came from. It does not tell you what repo (think mirror site) it was pulled from. It does not tell you if it came from 'test' and never was moved to 'released' unless it was resigned. At some sites that collect packages into a local repo it could be difficult to know if the package was site tested and site approved and such unless it was resigned. It can sort out some largish piles that might be interesting. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
