I want to list all packages I have installed on a system from a given repo using yum. Usually to do this I use yum list installed | grep "something". But now I am faced with a problem. The repo I am interested in does not have that "something" for me to grep. The packages from that repo do not have any distinctive characteristics. How do I list them?

I looked through yum man pages but did not find anything. I wonder if there are other commands I could use.

Try

yum list installed | grep reponame

On one of my servers:

yum list installed | grep remi
