Determining which packages did not come from a specific repository
Posted by broseMar 25
In switching all of my repositories to a local in-house RPM repository, I needed to figure out which packages were installed on machines in the network that did not come from the mirror to which I synchronize. These packages needed to be added manually into the repository. I wrote this little one-liner to list packages that did not come from the official RHEL repo, and therefore have a different vendor.
for i in `rpm -aq`; do if [ “`rpm -qi ${i} | grep ‘Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.’`” == “” ]; then echo $i; fi; done
You could use this easily on a non-RHEL repo, as long as your system uses RPM packages. Just update the vendor name in the middle there and you’re all set.
