urpmi tips

some useful urpmi searching tips from the mandriva cooker mailing list:

urpmf is your friend,
it is far more powerful than rpmdrake

i think there was a wonderful package to fight spam, but i cannot remember what it was called

urpmf --name spam (list all package that have the word spam in their name)
urpmf --summary spam (list all package that have the word spam in the summary)
urpmf --description spam (list all package that have the word spam in the long description)
urpmf --file spam (list all package that have the word spam in one of their files)
