So for completeness what your saying is that you think
yum clean packages should clean all packages from all enabled and
disabled repos by default?
and yum clean headers should clean all headers from all enabled and
disabled repos by default?
I think that if it were that way by default we would be having the
discussion of adding the ability to enablerepo and disablerepo for the
command instead :). I think it makes more sense to enable all repos for
just such an operation. Is this possible currently via shortcut ? -mf
Actually, IMO, yum clean packages should not care about repos at all. It
should remove packages for anything in yum cache - including enable,
disabled and no-longer-existing repos. From a look at the yum man page
it seems that this was also the idea that the developers hade when they
made those commands...
--- snip ---
*yum clean packages*
Eliminate any cached packages from the system. Note that pack-
ages are not automatically deleted after they are downloaded.
*yum clean headers*
Eliminate all of the files which yum uses to determine the
remote availability of packages. Using this option will force
yum to download all the headers the next time it is run.
*yum clean all*
Runs yum clean packages and yum clean headers as above.
--- snip ---
no reference to repos are made here.
Also, if only cleaning for enabled repos, we can't use yum to clean out
it's stuff for no-longer-existing repos, which would be bad.
