CentOS - Sep 2010 - Remove all packages from specific repository

Hi CentOS Mailinglist,

we are using amavisd-new (with all dependencies) from Fedora/Redhat EPEL repo.
Some packages from EPEL repo are very old. (amavisd-new, clamav, spamassassin)

What's the best way to remove all amavisd-new packages (and it's
dependencies) from EPEL repo and reinstall it from rpmforge repo?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Morten

To see what repos you have installed packages from:
[code]
rpm -qa --qf "%{VENDOR} \n" | sort | uniq
[/code]
The result should be a list of VENDOR tags.  To see the packages from a 
particular Vendor, for example EPEL:[code]
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Fedora Project"
| cut -d ' '
-f 1 | sort
[/code]
The result should be a list of EPEL packages.

Remove all, or all related to the packages you want to remove, then 
disable EPEL, or set it to a lower priority than RPMforge. Enable 
RPMforge, and install the packages you want.

If the RPMforge packages are all later versions, then the prior removal 
should not be necessary. A simple "yum update" with the correct repo 
configuration should be sufficient.
