The others are the names of the repositories they were found on. Look under /etc/yum.repos.d/. It doesn't matter much. "man yum" is worth studying carefully, it has lots of gems in it. BTW - I'm not sure that "apt-cache search" is the same as "yum list | grep" - apt-cache search looks for multiple keywords in the description as well (unless you do "apt-cache -n ..."), "yum list" just lists package names. You can use "yum whatprovides" to search for files (a bit like apt-file). > > Geoff, who is surprised there doesn't seem to be an Icecast package in the > Sentos repository. It's Centos (Community ENTerprise OS). And you should check rpmforge and EPEL for anything you can't find on "vanilla" centos. BTW - I see an icecast package for CentOS in the EPEL repository: # yum info icecast Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * epel: mirror.aarnet.edu.au * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Base Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Updates Finished 1680 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Available Packages Name : icecast Arch : x86_64 Version : 2.3.2 Release : 4.el5 Size : 558 k Repo : epel Summary : ShoutCast compatible streaming media server URL : http://www.icecast.org/ License : GPLv2 Description: Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg : Vorbis and MP3 audio streams.
