Unfortunately Luis the only language I know besides English is
Spanish. Your server is in France or a French country?
I'll make a stronger effort to clarify my English for your benefit.
Also I want to recommend Google Translate which allows fairly good
translation between Spanish, French and English.
To our communications problem: Those files in yum.repos.d are
instructions to yum in which servers on the web to look for rpms in.
Those files do not contain the rpms themselves. If you open one of
the files (with a text editor) you will see that it is very much like
the example link I referred to you.
The reason you got no response from your system is because blender is
not installed on your computer. yum can search servers on the web
external to your computer and compare what is there with what you
have on your hard-drive and inform you whether it is installed or not.
I executed the same command you used, on my own system. Here is the
result:
[root at arakus aguila]# yum list|grep -i blender
blender.ppc 2.45-17.el5
installed [root at arakus aguila]#
Your computer responded as it did because yum discovered that blender
is not present and so it represented the non-presence of blender by
reporting nothing. I'm using YDL 6.2. However I know that blender
is part of the package of software available for YDL 6.1 because I
also used YDL 6.1 and other earlier versions of YDL.
I'm going to execute running yum to list and provide information
regarding blender. I'll share the results here and I'd like you on
your system to run the same sequence of commands I did. Ok?
Here goes:

The above is how yum responded to my command to inform me something
about blender. If you execute the same command you will get the same
result. You don't have to be in yum.repos.d to execute yum.
Here is another command to yum to find blender and anything else
associated with blender:
[root at arakus aguila]# yum search blender

yum is telling me that it found blender available on a remote server
that is external, not part of my computer system. And it is
reporting that blender is installed on my computer.
Now I'll tell yum to do something more complex. I want yum to look
for any package available for YDL 6.2 which contain the letters
ble. Logically this should include blender. Here is how yum
performs:
[root at arakus aguila]# yum info "*ble*"

Repo : extras
Summary: Inheritable, overridable class data
Description:

is then inherited by your subclasses and can be overriden.
Name : perl-Digest-BubbleBabble
Arch : noarch
Version: 0.01
Release: 6.el5
Size : 8.5 k
Repo : extras
Summary: Create bubble-babble fingerprints
Description:
Digest::BubbleBabble takes a message digest (generated by either of
the MD5 or SHA-1 message digest algorithms) and creates a fingerprint
of that digest in "bubble babble" format. Bubble babble is a method
of representing a message digest as a string of "real" words, to make
the fingerprint easier to remember. The "words" are not necessarily
real words, but they look more like words than a string of hex
characters.
Bubble babble fingerprinting is used by the SSH2 suite (and,
consequently, by Net::SSH::Perl, the Perl SSH implementation) to
display easy-to-remember key fingerprints. The key (a DSA or RSA key)
is converted into a textual form, digested using Digest::SHA1, and
run through bubblebabble to create the key fingerprint.
Name : perl-HTML-Table
Arch : noarch
Version: 2.05
Release: 1.el5
Size : 27 k
Repo : extras
Summary: Create HTML tables using simple interface
Description:
HTML::Table is used to generate HTML tables for CGI scripts. By
using the methods provided fairly complex tables can be created,
manipulated, then printed from Perl scripts. The module also greatly
simplifies creating tables within tables from Perl. It is possible
to create an entire table using the methods provided and never use an
HTML tag.
HTML::Table also allows for creating dynamically sized tables via its
addRow and addCol methods. These methods automatically resize the
table if passed more cell values than will fit in the current table
grid.
Methods are provided for nearly all valid table, row, and cell tags
specified for HTML 3.0.
Name : perl-HTML-TableExtract
Arch : noarch
Version: 2.10
Release: 2.el5
Size : 32 k
Repo : extras
Summary: A Perl module for extracting content in HTML tables
Description:
HTML::TableExtract is a module that simplifies the extraction of
information contained in tables within HTML documents.
Tables of note may be specified using Headers, Depth, Count,
Attributes, or some combination of the three. See the module
documentation for details.
Name : perl-IPC-Shareable
Arch : noarch
Version: 0.60
Release: 3.el5
Size : 39 k
Repo : extras
Summary: Share Perl variables between processes
Description:
IPC::Shareable allows you to tie a variable to shared memory making it
easy to share the contents of that variable with other Perl processes.
Scalars, arrays, and hashes can be tied. The variable being tied may
contain arbitrarily complex data structures - including references to
arrays, hashes of hashes, etc.
Name : perl-Module-Pluggable
Arch : noarch
Version: 3.60
Release: 3.el5
Size : 23 k

Release: 2.el5
Size : 20 k
Repo : extras
Summary: Programmable DNS resolver class for offline emulation of DNS
Description:
Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable is a Net::DNS::Resolver descendant
class that allows a virtual DNS to be emulated instead of querying
the real DNS. A set of static DNS records may be supplied, or
arbitrary code may be specified as a means for retrieving DNS
records, or even generating them on the fly.
Name : perl-Proc-ProcessTable
Arch : ppc
Version: 0.44

Name : python-peak-util-assembler
Arch : noarch
Version: 0.5
Release: 1.el5
Size : 69 k
Repo : extras
Summary: Generate Python code objects by "assembling" bytecode
Description:
peak.util.assembler is a simple bytecode assembler module that
handles most low-level bytecode generation details like jump offsets,
stack size tracking, line number table generation, constant and
variable name index tracking, etc. That way, you can focus your
attention on the desired semantics of your bytecode instead of on
these mechanical issues.
In addition to a low-level opcode-oriented API for directly
generating specific Python bytecodes, this module also offers an
extensible mini-AST framework for generating code from high-level
specifications. This framework does most of the work needed to
transform tree-like structures into linear bytecode instructions, and
includes the ability to do compile-time constant folding.

The results above are quite revealing. Not only does yum tell me, in
the Repo field whether a package is installed on my computer, it also
tells me that there are packages available for me to install on the
servers (on the Web and external to my computer). It also explains
to me what these packages are and what they do.
Now a bit more of how yum works. The instructions yum follows, in
what servers to look and examine, are defined and determined in the
files within yum.repos.d. Explained differently: The packages/rpms
are located on the servers; the files in yum.repos.d tell yum the
locations of the servers on the web.
I hope this is clearer. If not, please consider joining the
