The correct line is: keepcache=true I don't know which effects has keepcache=1, I don't use this since last time I used yum. Yes as long a storage permits it or as long you want to keep it, a "dnf clean all" will delete all of the packages stored on the cache. > That sounds exactly like python-dnf-plugins-extras-local.

You install a package foo-1.0.fc23.x86_64.rpm 2. The package is running on your system, version:1.0, and also the rpm file from which you installed, is stored on /var/cache/dnf. 3. An update come, foo-1.1.fc23.x86_64.rpm. 4. After updating you end up with: foo-1.1fc23.x86_64.rpm running on your system, foo-1.1.fc23.x86_64.rpm stored on /var/cache/dnf/ alongside foo-1.0.fc23.x86_64.rpm. > -- > Regards, > Sudhir Khanger, > sudhirkhanger.com. > > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
