how can i see from which repo an installed package came from? thanks.


rpm -qi


i don't think so. for instance, i know mercurial is in the FC
"extras" repo, but there's nothing in

$ rpm -qi mercurial

that tells me that.

You may want to try yum search package

Note, that al this is not telling you where the package came from, but only where you can FIND it (too).
I use additional repos like ATrpms and Freshrpms.
ATrpms puts "at" in its package name .... Freshrpms does not do that

example
$ yum --enablerepo=freshrpms list zvbi
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
zvbi.i386 0.2.22-5.fc4.at installed
Available Packages
zvbi.i386 0.2.15-1.2.fc4 freshrpms

If the package from Freshrpms was installed, I only can see it is installed.
The available upgrade would be from ATrpms .... that is NOT where it came from !!

If anyone knows a "trick" so I can really see where it CAME from .. that would be nice ....
