When did _dnf_local come into effect?, the last couple of months are the 
first time I've seen any reference to that repository as a repository 
being refreshed when all the repository lists are automatically 
refreshed or when sudo dnf update is issue. Although having said this it 
is also only recently where I'm getting entries retained in that 
"repository" as the akmods rebuild of the kmod-nvidia 6.10.12 kernel 
driver removed that entry from _dnf_local and the akmods build of the 
kmod-nvidia 6.11.3 kernel driver appears to not have placed an entry 
there in the first place.
Is that anything different than this:  (essentially a cache)
https://fedoramagazine.org/use-the-dnf-local-plugin-to-speed-up-your-home-lab/

For which the only benefit is if you use two or more machines through
it (their DNF updates use what you've cached, rather than the outside
world), and only if they're installing the same things.

Those other *machines* could be physical hardware, or virtual.

Copied from that link above:

"Repository management

"The local repository will accumulate files over time. Among the files
will be many versions of rpms that change frequently. The kernel rpms 
are one such example. A system upgrade (for example upgrading from 
Fedora Linux 33 to Fedora Linux 34) will copy many rpms into the local 
repository. The dnf repomanage command can be used to remove outdated
rpm archives."
This looks like what is happening, although the folder the config file specifies as being the path to the local repository doesn't exist on my machine. I've uninstalled all the python3-dnf-plugin plugins as I don't need the facility outlined in this article. Thankyou for the info.

regards,
Steve
