I'd like to know which Centos repositories various packages are available at. Is there a directory somewhere? I tried googling it and didn't find anything.

If you have the repositories configured on your server "yum list" will show you which packages come from which repositories (or are already installed) in the third column.
[root@cobbler ~]# yum list | egrep 'foo|cobbler' cobbler.x86_64 1.6.6-1.el5 installed foomatic.x86_64 3.0.2-38.3.el5 base revisor-cobbler.noarch 2.0.5.2-3.el5 epel

Thanks! I should clarify - I have most repositories disabled... will this still search through them?– Mike BDec 2, 2009 at 23:49

Doing a yum search
on the package name should show the repository from which it would install.

no - if they're disabled,
yum
is being told NOT to search them. Therefore, if you can't find the package you want, you need to enable other repositories.– warrenDec 3, 2009 at 2:00
