I guess ideally yum could provide this feature (similar to 'yum

rpm -qa |grep \.fr
the distag is a hack... used to abuse the rpm tagging structures... to
incorporate information into the default rpm -q output that was not
really intended to be there by default.
VENDOR tag does exist and it should be used for this information.
rpm -q ---qf exists to get access to tag strings.
rpm --querytags to get a list of tags to use
/etc/cron.daily/rpm has a good easy to follow example of how to use
--qf querystrings.
