I'm trying to find out from which repo I got xiphos and its matching sword libraries from, and somehow am not finding it. hints, anyone?
thanks!

thanks, but I don't think t hat's what I want to know...
it's already installed (via "yum install xiphos") and I need to know which repository it actually came from. I think it came from Centos, but dont' know how to be sure. "yum list installed" merely shows it as installed,but doesn't list the repo from which it came.

The output of "rpm -qi xiphos" should tell you what repo it came from.

hmm... maybe it does, or mayb e it doesn't.
some packages have an item named "packager", some dont'. they also seem to list "build host" which may be more telling.
but since yum knows which repos have it available, when it isn't currently installed, I'd think it would also know where it came from after it was installed, more directly than it appears from this sort of evidence.
thanks for the info, even if it isn't exactly what I was looking for.

Then try "yum info xiphos".

thanks!
On CentOS-6 you can use yumdb to get real data (saved explicitly when a pkg is installed): yumdb info pkgname
On CentOS-5 there's no such thing and the only thing you can do is to ask "from where would this pkg be installed if I did so now?"
