You can do either or both with rpm (and a little help from grep. I
have FreshRPMS on an old FC4 box and it looks to me like all of
Mattias' packages have a proper vendor tag which would seem like the
easiest way to query for them.
Get a list of FreshRPMS.net packages:
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{vendor}:%{name}\n' | grep 'Freshrpms\.net' | cut -d: -f2-
Getting the signature requires a little more voodoo if you want to be
sure to get both RSA and DSA signs made with either gpg or pgp, but it
can be done. Here's something I stole from a post on fedora-extras
list[1]:
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\t%|DSAHEADER?{%{DSAHEADER:pgpsig}}:{%|RSAHEADER?{%{RSAHEADER:pgpsig}}:{%|SIGGPG?{%{SIGGPG:pgpsig}}:{%|SIGPGP?{%{SIGPGP:pgpsig}}:{(none)}|}|}|}|\n' | grep e42d547b
That's not really the most user friendly thing in the world, but you
can probably bend it into a shape can use. The popt alias used in the
fedora-extras-list post offers some nice possibilities.
