I'm sorry we don't agree but that happens sometime. Luckily you don't have to worry about what I do or do not believe for two reasons: 1. it's open source you can do what you want 2. Menno Smits and other folks have given yum a lovely Plugin interface that makes this problem utterly trivial to get around. I would highly encourage you to write a make-it-clean plugin that, for example, could run after the transaction finishes and cleans up all the rpms in the /var/cache/yum directory, if you wish. Seriously, write the plugin, send it to yum-devel list. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
