This script makes use of repomanage easy. Check it out:

# Move or remove old versions of rpms from repo cache OR
# List new packs in repos cache

echo "Please correct \$ARCHIVEDIR - invalid archive dir \"$ARCHIVEDIR\" exiting..."
exit 1
fi
if [ "$1" = -n -o "$1" = new ]; then
ACTION=-n
elif [ "$1" = "-o" -o "$1" = old ]; then
ACTION=-o
else
echo "script takes two arguments -o/old or -n/new"
exit 1
fi
for x in `find $CACHEDIR -depth -type d -name packages`
do
