How do I search across Red Hat 7 repos?
 

Hello everyone, recently I was trying to install one CMS that requires php-mcrypt, and couldn't not found the library in my enabled repos.
I am new to pure Redhat, used to work with CentOS before, and it looks that I can find most of packages within Redhat repos without adding epel of other third party repos. If this statement is true then all I need is to find a good way to search through disabled repos or identify which repo contains certain package somehow.

Hi: & Welcome to Linux Questions.

I would give yum search (name of package or application) a try.

If you add the epel repo yum should perform a search for you.
To search for a specific package by name, use the list function. To search for the package tsclient, use the command:
The name tsclient was just an example.

If your still having trouble look through the RH Documentation-

You need to install a package called yum-utils. yum-utils is a collection of utilities and examples for the yum package manager. It includes utilities by different authors that make yum easier and more powerful to use.

You can also install a package manually if you have to.:-
