tidy-cache is a plugin for YUM, a software management system found in many Linux distributions. It helps to minimize the size of YUM's cache directory by deleting RPM packages files if newer versions of the same package are also present in the cache. You can exclude specific packages from being tested and you can set the number of old versions to keep in the cache.

Release Notes: This revision fixes a bug where some packages with the '.' symbol in the filename were not identified as separate packages (e.g. openoffice.org-core and openoffice.org-writer). This revision contains no other functionality changes.


Release Notes: The plugin now only compares RPM package files with the same package name and architecture. If you want to disregard the architecture attribute (i.e. go back to the old behavior), then set the configuration option ignore_arch to 1. A bug where the "-y" command-line option had no effect was fixed.


Release Notes: This is the initial release. It has been tested with YUM 3.2.24 on Fedora 11.
