Hi, I decided to write something some folks had asked me for quite a bit. it's called repomanage.py - you pass it a dir and an option (--old or -- new) and it will output either the old packages in that dir, or the newest packages in that dir. it's useful if you want to do things like: repomanage.py --old /some/place | xargs rm -f to get rid of old packages in a repository. or for file in `repomanage.py --new /some/place` do cp -a $file /my/new/distro/dir done to create a dir full of only the latest rpms. It keys on name+arch so you'll get the latest rpms of every arch. it's dirt simple and maybe it will be useful to someone. http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/misc/repomanage.py thanks, -sv
