Conary
Started experimenting with conary and I did not like the experience.
I'm very used to apt-get and conary felt a bit less featured.
I tried to do 'conary q kernel*' and what was returned was 'error: kernel* is not installed'.
Humm, ok, did another try like 'conary q kernel' and I was successful. :)
I'm gonna try conary a bit more and provide some feedback then.
By the way, how do I get the info of some package in a "repository"?

Wildcards are not implemented in "conary q" yet. It's not difficult, just not done. Meanwhile, you can do "conary q | grep kernel".
For getting information about what's in the repository, you can use "conary rq --info foo". For example, "conary rq --info kernel" will give you spiffy information:
[msw@localhost ~]$ conary rq --info kernel
Name : kernel Build time: Tue Nov 15 21:25:00 2005

etc.
If you're searching for software, the best way is to go to rBuilder Online at http://rpath.com/ and do a package search. We're going to add the ability to search using more than just the package name later.
conary q | grep kernel is more what you wanted. There's not a lot of globbing support within conary itself.
As for querying a repository, try the rq conary command, i.e. conary rq <pkgname>, or conary rq --ls kernel:runtime to list all the files in a package.
