Description of problem:
yum does not ever delete its cache, unless explicitly told so with
'yum clean packages' and 'yum clean oldheaders'

I had a smallish /var partition (~1 GB) that was always empty.  Within two weeks
of yum installation and rawhide updates, it filled up to the point that yum
updates failed.  I searched and found multiple rpms filling up the space.  Many
of them were of the same package, different version.

I propose to add a cron.daily or cron.weekly script (or add some functionality
into the existing) to delete the unnecessary packages and headers.  I

It should include:

yum clean packages
yum clean oldheaders




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.0.3-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.let yum update nightly
2.
3.
