[CentOS] centos rpm package description list?
Dear All Is there any reference link that lists the centos rpm packages by their description? As I know, we have reference sites like rpm.pbone.net and dag.wieers.com etc that we can search for an rpm package by its name. But what we have if we want to find a rpm package by its description rather than its name? Say we want to find how many solutions do we have for Image processing or Speech processing on centos, so if we know the solution is GIMP so we can search for its rpm package on the mentioned sites but what we can do if we just know the rpm package description? Thank you ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

'yum search speech' might be what you are looking for. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If people can provide the data, I'll host a site with a database look-up. Initially the fields for each entry would be:- database reference number - searchable, exact match general type: audio-visual - searchable, drop-down menu sub-type: audio - searchable, drop-down menu description: plays most file types - searchable , partial match comments: used to be called - searchable, partial match package name: searchable, partial match location: URL or repo site name - searchable, partial match on URL Centos 5 available flag: used in combination with a search Centos 6 available flag: used in combination with a search Non-Centos flag: used in combination with a search The site could perhaps be called: software.centos.org although I have sufficient resources for an alternative URL.
