NAME

SYNOPSIS

yum [options] [command] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

This plugin extends yum for some commands that give aggregate package data based on lists of packages

added yum commands are:
* list-vendors
* info-vendors
* list-rpm-groups
* info-rpm-groups
* list-packagers
* info-packagers
* list-licenses
* info-licenses
* list-arches
* info-arches
* list-committers
* info-committers
* list-buildhosts
* info-buildhosts
* list-baseurls
* info-baseurls
* list-package-sizes
* info-package-sizes
* list-archive-sizes
* info-archive-sizes
* list-installed-sizes
* info-installed-sizes
* list-groups
* info-groups

all of which take the same arguments as the list and info yum commands. The difference between the list and info varieties is that the info versions lists all the packages under each aggregation.

It is worth noting that some of the above data can be "unknown", to yum, at which point a separate aggregation called "-- Unknown --" is listed.
