The origin can be read of the repo tag, that is the "rf" above. "rf" stands for rpmforge. The methods, well, that you must know.

The repotag was a good method. But it was killed by the epel project. So you will find less and less repos using it. > Obviously if i downloaded the rpm and 'manually installed' directly with > rpm, it is my job to track where I got the rpm from....
