So knowing how to properly determine how to use those repos (which was the OP's question, after all) is very useful indeed, IMO.

On a related note, I have a server that is using both the epel and
rpmforge repos.  Is there a way to determine which packages came from
which repo?

The rpmforge ones are fairly easy:

$ rpm -qa | grep '\.rf$'

but epel doesn't use the repotag, so I'm not sure how to do it.

Any suggestions?
