Verily I say unto thee, that Stanczak Group spake thusly:

If the repo you were thinking about removing was, e.g. Livna, then:
rpm -qa --qf "%{vendor} : %{buildhost} : %{name}\n" | grep -i livna
Would show you all packages where either the Vendor or Buildhost string
was Livna.
The ":" colons are purely arbitrary; you can format the output any way
you like. If you do:
rpm -q --querytags
That will show you all the available "tag" strings that you can specify
in the --qf search, i.e. "%{whatevertag}". Don't forget the newline
escape "\n" at the end, or you'll end up with a huge one-liner.
If you're not sure what the proper Vendor string is likely to be, then
you could look through all of them with:
rpm -qa --qf "%{vendor} : %{buildhost} : %{name}\n" | sort | less
Or even eliminate known repos from your "search" with:
rpm -qa --qf "%{vendor} : %{buildhost} : %{name}\n" | grep -vi "red hat"
You get the idea.
HTH.
