Description of problem: I do not find an explanation of the output of "yum list". Under the heading "Installed Packages", the third column says 'installed' for some entries but shows a flag '@' and a repository name for others. The third column does not have a heading, and I checked 'man yum' and 'yum help list' but did not see it mentioned there either. Steps to Reproduce: $ yum list $ man yum $ yum help list Actual results of 'yum list' include these lines: Installed Packages kernel.x86_64 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 installed kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 @updates kernel-firmware.noarch 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 installed kernel-headers.x86_64 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 @updates kerneloops.x86_64 0.12-5.fc11 installed Available Packages kernel-debug.x86_64 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 updates kernel-debug-devel.x86_64 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 updates kernel-doc.noarch 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 updates Expected results: In the output of 'yum list', or in 'man yum', or 'yum help list', an indication of what the '@' means in the context of '@updates'.
in yum 3.2.23 and beyond we're capturing what repo a package was installed FROM. So pkgs installed with that ver of yum will list out their repo-of-origin when you list them. @repo means the pkg was installed from that repo.
I've documented this in the man page now. Suggestions on ways to improve the man page are welcome, though: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=blob;f=docs/yum.8;h=352091260f46be8030ec9db9b7774589527d48ec;hb=75c3c7dc4540f473c292bcde7e416aebe417c67c#l337
