is on the CD's and DVD's. I am doing clean installs of F7 on several
systems, and need to bring in the packages that I had installed on my FC5
systems. Some of them had been obtained from the FC5 extras repository
and others were from elsewhere. Some of what was not included in FC5
extras may now be in F7, but I don't know. I need to be able to sort this
out.
Core and Extras repository was merged for Fedora 7 so what was in Extras
for Fedora Core 5 will be in Fedora 7 repository too unless they were
orphaned in the mean time.
You can find the list of packages in every version including orphaned
packages in the package database available at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb. It is more developer oriented but
will be useful for your needs.
