Yep, they hang around till you actually run yum
without --downloadonly, the automatic cache
flushing doesn't happen till the packages are installed
(which makes sense, but doing the sensible thing
is not always what happens with software :-).
I keep the cache, then run a small script to upload the packages to a
master repository, where a repo is created on a regular basis. The
result is that if I install or upgrade a package on any of my machines,
it winds up in the local repository and when needed on any other machine
is available locally. I have Gbit on site and 12Mbit to the net, so
saves time and bandwidth.
