any place to see all rpms that come with RHEL?

[ESGLinux]

Thank you for your answer Paul,

Your answer is very clear.

The problem to know what has the release if I have a suscription or eval is
solved. For special cases I'll check the CentOS repo If have the option to
see directly from rhel.

Thanks

grettings,
