Unfortunately Luis the only language I know besides English is Spanish. Your server is in France or a French country?
I'll make a stronger effort to clarify my English for your benefit. Also I want to recommend Google Translate which allows fairly good translation between Spanish, French and English. To our communications problem: Those files in yum.repos.d are instructions to yum in which servers on the web to look for rpms in. Those files do not contain the rpms themselves. If you open one of the files (with a text editor) you will see that it is very much like the example link I referred to you. The reason you got no response from your system is because blender is not installed on your computer. yum can search servers on the web external to your computer and compare what is there with what you have on your hard-drive and inform you whether it is installed or not. I executed the same command you used, on my own system. Here is the result: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum list|grep -i blender blender.ppc 2.45-17.el5 installed [r...@arakus aguila]# Your computer responded as it did because yum discovered that blender is not present and so it represented the non-presence of blender by reporting nothing. I'm using YDL 6.2. However I know that blender is part of the package of software available for YDL 6.1 because I also used YDL 6.1 and other earlier versions of YDL. I'm going to execute running yum to list and provide information regarding blender. I'll share the results here and I'd like you on your system to run the same sequence of commands I did. Ok? Here goes: [agu...@arakus ~]$ su Password: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum info "*blender*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Installed Packages Name : blender Arch : ppc Version: 2.45 Release: 17.el5 Size : 27 M Repo : installed Summary: 3D modeling, animation, rendering and post-production Description: Blender is the essential software solution you need for 3D, from modeling, animation, rendering and post-production to interactive creation and playback.

And it is reporting that blender is installed on my computer. Now I'll tell yum to do something more complex. I want yum to look for any package available for YDL 6.2 which contain the letters ble. Logically this should include blender. Here is how yum performs: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum info "*ble*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin Installed Packages Name : arptables_jf Arch : ppc Version: 0.0.8 Release: 8 Size : 207 k Repo : installed Summary: Userspace control program for the arptables network filter.

Cobbler has a Python and XMLRPC API for integration with other applications. There is also a web interface. Name : ebtables Arch : ppc Version: 2.0.8 Release: 1.el5 Size : 93 k Repo : extras Summary: Ethernet Bridge frame table administration tool Description: Ethernet bridge tables is a firewalling tool to transparently filter network traffic passing a bridge. The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering and some basic filtering on higher network layers. This tool is the userspace control for the bridge and ebtables kernel components (built by default in Fedora Core kernels). The ebtables tool can be used together with the other Linux filtering tools, like iptables. There are no known incompatibility issues. Name : iptables-devel Arch : ppc Version: 1.3.5 Release: 1.2.1 Size : 45 k Repo : base Summary: Development package for iptables. Description: The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the Linux kernel. If you need to set up firewalls and/or IP masquerading, you should install this package. Name : perl-Class-Data-Inheritable Arch : noarch Version: 0.06 Release: 2.el5 Size : 8.6 k Repo : extras Summary: Inheritable, overridable class data Description: Class::Data::Inheritable is for creating accessor/mutators to class data. That is, if you want to store something about your class as a whole (instead of about a single object). This data is then inherited by your subclasses and can be overriden. Name : perl-Digest-BubbleBabble Arch : noarch Version: 0.01 Release: 6.el5 Size : 8.5 k Repo : extras Summary: Create bubble-babble fingerprints Description: Digest::BubbleBabble takes a message digest (generated by either of the MD5 or SHA-1 message digest algorithms) and creates a fingerprint of that digest in "bubble babble" format. Bubble babble is a method of representing a message digest as a string of "real" words, to make the fingerprint easier to remember. The "words" are not necessarily real words, but they look more like words than a string of hex characters. Bubble babble fingerprinting is used by the SSH2 suite (and, consequently, by Net::SSH::Perl, the Perl SSH implementation) to display easy-to-remember key fingerprints. The key (a DSA or RSA key) is converted into a textual form, digested using Digest::SHA1, and run through bubblebabble to create the key fingerprint. Name : perl-HTML-Table Arch : noarch Version: 2.05 Release: 1.el5 Size : 27 k Repo : extras Summary: Create HTML tables using simple interface Description: HTML::Table is used to generate HTML tables for CGI scripts. By using the methods provided fairly complex tables can be created, manipulated, then printed from Perl scripts. The module also greatly simplifies creating tables within tables from Perl. It is possible to create an entire table using the methods provided and never use an HTML tag. HTML::Table also allows for creating dynamically sized tables via its addRow and addCol methods. These methods automatically resize the table if passed more cell values than will fit in the current table grid. Methods are provided for nearly all valid table, row, and cell tags specified for HTML 3.0. Name : perl-HTML-TableExtract Arch : noarch Version: 2.10 Release: 2.el5 Size : 32 k Repo : extras Summary: A Perl module for extracting content in HTML tables Description: HTML::TableExtract is a module that simplifies the extraction of information contained in tables within HTML documents. Tables of note may be specified using Headers, Depth, Count, Attributes, or some combination of the three. See the module documentation for details. Name : perl-IPC-Shareable Arch : noarch Version: 0.60 Release: 3.el5 Size : 39 k Repo : extras Summary: Share Perl variables between processes Description: IPC::Shareable allows you to tie a variable to shared memory making it easy to share the contents of that variable with other Perl processes. Scalars, arrays, and hashes can be tied. The variable being tied may contain arbitrarily complex data structures - including references to arrays, hashes of hashes, etc. Name : perl-Module-Pluggable Arch : noarch Version: 3.60 Release: 3.el5 Size : 23 k Repo : extras Summary: Automatically give your module the ability to have plugins Description: Provides a simple but, hopefully, extensible way of having 'plugins' for your module. Name : perl-Net-DNS-Resolver-Programmable Arch : noarch Version: 0.003 Release: 2.el5 Size : 20 k Repo : extras Summary: Programmable DNS resolver class for offline emulation of DNS Description: Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable is a Net::DNS::Resolver descendant class that allows a virtual DNS to be emulated instead of querying the real DNS. A set of static DNS records may be supplied, or arbitrary code may be specified as a means for retrieving DNS records, or even generating them on the fly. Name : perl-Proc-ProcessTable Arch : ppc Version: 0.44 Release: 1.el5 Size : 47 k Repo : extras Summary: Perl extension to access the unix process table Description: Perl interface to the unix process table.

Name : python-peak-util-assembler Arch : noarch Version: 0.5 Release: 1.el5 Size : 69 k Repo : extras Summary: Generate Python code objects by "assembling" bytecode Description: peak.util.assembler is a simple bytecode assembler module that handles most low-level bytecode generation details like jump offsets, stack size tracking, line number table generation, constant and variable name index tracking, etc. That way, you can focus your attention on the desired semantics of your bytecode instead of on these mechanical issues. In addition to a low-level opcode-oriented API for directly generating specific Python bytecodes, this module also offers an extensible mini-AST framework for generating code from high-level specifications. This framework does most of the work needed to transform tree-like structures into linear bytecode instructions, and includes the ability to do compile-time constant folding. Name : python-text_table Arch : noarch Version: 0.02 Release: 2.el5 Size : 8.0 k Repo : extras Summary: Simple Eyecandy ASCII Tables Description: This module provides an interface to output simple ASCII tables.

These headers are not frozen and APIs can change at any time, so should not be relied on. [r...@arakus aguila]# The results above are quite revealing. Not only does yum tell me, in the Repo field whether a package is installed on my computer, it also tells me that there are packages available for me to install on the servers (on the Web and external to my computer). It also explains to me what these packages are and what they do. Now a bit more of how yum works. The instructions yum follows, in what servers to look and examine, are defined and determined in the files within yum.repos.d. Explained differently: The packages/rpms are located on the servers; the files in yum.repos.d tell yum the locations of the servers on the web. I hope this is clearer.
