Hello John,

Thank you for your answers, but that is to install more than 3 kernels, which 
is not what I want. (Actually I am happy with the 3 kernels and just would 
like to catch up adding *the corresponding* kernel-devel version for each of 
them now, because kernel and kernel-devel packages were not updated in 
parallel.)

However, my problem has nothing to do with the installonly_limit parameter, 
because I want to *display* the RPMs which *are available* in the 
(obfuscated) link I gave in my OP. So I found --showduplicates (and 
--enablerepo), but it does not make do. Definitely, not all RPMs available in 
the repo are displayed with yum.

(Also, I could yum-install them by giving yum the explicit URL.)

Yes, but why look into Google and other providers, if the RPMs are in the 
repo. My problem is not (any more) to find them. My point is that I want my 
yum to list them when I ask for it.
