It's close, but lacks functionality that search had.
You have to enable showdupesfromrepos=1 and even then you get not all
info:
yum list perl-MIME-tools
Installed Packages
perl-MIME-tools.noarch 5.420-2.el5.rf installed
Available Packages
perl-MIME-tools.noarch 5.420-1.el5.rf rpmforge
You have to *assume* that the -2 package came from rpmforge (in the case
of rpmforge it's also marked by "rf", but that's not necessarily the case
with other repo's), the old search listing was like this:
perl-MIME-tools.noarch 5.420-1.el5.rf rpmforge
perl-MIME-tools.noarch 5.420-2.el5.rf rpmforge
perl-MIME-tools.noarch 5.420-2.el5.rf installed
