How to list installed packages from a given repo using yum [closed]
I want to list all packages I have installed on a system from a given repo using yum. Usually to do this I use yum list installed | grep "something"
. But now I am faced with a problem. The repo I am interested in does not have that "something" for me to grep. The packages from that repo do not have any distinctive characteristics. How do I list them?
I looked through yum man pages but did not find anything. I wonder if there are other commands I could use.
Solution 1:
Try
yum list installed | grep reponame
On one of my servers:
yum list installed | grep remi ImageMagick2.x86_64 6.6.5.10-1.el5.remi installed memcache.x86_64 1.4.5-2.el5.remi installed mysql.x86_64 5.1.54-1.el5.remi installed mysql-devel.x86_64 5.1.54-1.el5.remi installed mysql-libs.x86_64 5.1.54-1.el5.remi installed mysql-server.x86_64 5.1.54-1.el5.remi installed mysqlclient15.x86_64 5.0.67-1.el5.remi installed php.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-cli.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-common.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-domxml-php4-php5.noarch 1.21.2-1.el5.remi installed php-fpm.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-gd.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-mbstring.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-mcrypt.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-mysql.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-pdo.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-pear.noarch 1:1.9.1-6.el5.remi installed php-pecl-apc.x86_64 3.1.6-1.el5.remi installed php-pecl-imagick.x86_64 3.0.1-1.el5.remi.1 installed php-pecl-memcache.x86_64 3.0.5-1.el5.remi installed php-pecl-xdebug.x86_64 2.1.0-1.el5.remi installed php-soap.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed php-xml.x86_64 5.3.5-1.el5.remi installed remi-release.noarch 5-8.el5.remi installed
It works.
Solution 2:
On newer versions of yum, this information is stored in the "yumdb" when the package is installed. This is the only 100% accurate way to get the information, and you can use:
yumdb search from_repo repoid
(or repoquery and grep -- don't grep yum output). However the command "find-repos-of-install" was part of yum-utils for a while which did the best guess without that information:

As floyd said, a lot of repos. include a unique "dist" tag in their release, and you can look for that ... however from what you said, I guess that isn't the case for you?
