rpms? One could locate rpms from various repos e.g.

• Centos base, extras, plus
• EPEL
• RPMForge
• KBS repos

you mean, like `yum list` ?

yumlist or yumex are not as good as rpmfind, as i don't run yumex/GUI on any server.

How does #yum list <name> not work *if* the repo is added to your list?

Is that how rpmfind works?

Don't know _exactly_ how I searches, but I think that point is mute.

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ What packages are available for CentOS and third party repos without having the .repo files installed?

Sorry, I don't understand. Add the few repo's you know you'll need (there aren’t that many) and execute your search. Simple. Between whatprovides and list, I find everything I need.

I usually go to:

http://rpm.pbone.net/

Click "Advanced RPM Search" and select the distros to search. If you want to include the EPEL repository, pick up "Fedora Other". If you add "CentOS Other", you will get the kbs repo as well.
