Mysteriously huge yum cache.. get rid of old -devel repo

Hey all,
If you've recently realized your /var/cache is keeping a bunch of disk space after yum clean packages.. take a look at whether you have the old -development repo there with files that are not being cleaned out.

The fedora-development repo was changed to be rawhide, and the .repo file should have been set to .rpmsave: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo.rpmsave. This repo won't be read by yum when you try to clean packages, so if you have anything in /var/cache/yum/development* directories it will stay there until you manually remove them.

rm -Rf /var/cache/yum/development*

I had about 1.5Gb of files stuck there.
