Description of problem: I don't reinstall my machine, I update it using yum. I've found out, there is not enough space left on / partition and where looking around, I've found /var/cache/yum to be eating 1.7 GB data. I have following directories in /var/cache/yum/x86_64: 14/ 332 MB 15/ 585 MB 16/ 249 MB 17/ 480 MB I tried to clean cache using "yum clean all", but it removed data only from 17/ directory, other directories still contain all data. I think yum should clear it's cache after some time and yum clean all should remove data for old releases. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.4.3-23.fc17.noarch
yum clean all only works on enabled repositories if your update to a new release using yum your enabled will switch to the new release repositories and the old cache data i left in limbo. updating by yum is not supported, so there is some things you must cleanup yourself. a trick could be to run yum clean all --enablerepo=\* before updating the 'fedora-release' rpm to the new release
Well, it's the "fedora", "updates" and "updates-testing" repo before the update and it's still the same repo after the update, only destination url gets changed. Isn't it possible to: a) clean the same repository or b) clean data that does not belong to any repository ?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This is intentional. We've added text to show what is being cleaned, and I've done a command to show better what is in the cache dir (although that's not upstream yet).
