Is there a website where I can enter a software package (for example Apache) and select a CentOS version number and get the version number of Apache which comes with the selected CentOS distribution?

are you saying you don't have CentOS installed or you don't want to install the package before finding out the version? Your question is a bit vague. – Mark Fisher Oct 06 '14 at 07:41

@MarkFisher I don't have anything installed. I need it to check dependencies I can list for the production environment. I make that clear in the headline. – DASKAjA Oct 06 '14 at 07:43

You do now, but the original headline said "it", hence my question. I've added a suggestion below. – Mark Fisher Oct 06 '14 at 07:46

2Please keep in mind that for almost every package the software version remains the same for the whole life-cycle of major release, only the patch level should change. For instance requiring CentOS 6.4 is wrong. – HBruijn Oct 06 '14 at 07:59

Yes, you can browse the CentOS software repositories which contain only the software distributed by CentOS.
CentOS 5:
- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/
- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/
CentOS 6:
- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/Packages/
- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/updates/x86_64/Packages/
CentOS 7 :
- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7/os/x86_64/Packages/
- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7/updates/x86_64/Packages/
If you just need the major revision number (e.g. php53 -> php 5.3) then you need only look at the RPMs under the "os" directory. If you need minor revision numbers (updates, e.g. php53-5.3.3-24) then also look at the RPMs under the "updates" directory.

Go to an rpm search site like this one, click Search / Advanced Search and then you can tick the distributions you wish to query against.
