Really? Then the post is phrased poorly:

| How do i do this? 

This has been answered.

This is not a question.

| [...] but i am looking here to obtain a list of the rpms.

This has been answered. With the list of packages and a package's
name, one can query the RPM database also to retrieve the package's
list of files in case that is needed as well.
