Do you mean that keepcache=1 will keep all versions of all packages, even from 3rd party repos and manually installed rpms, in cache '/var/cache/dnf' forever as long as storage permits it? That sounds exactly like python-dnf-plugins-extras-local. What is the difference between keepcache=1 and the local plugin. Can the cache location be saved in any other location like home folder which as a lot more space than / folder which in my case is only 20 GiB? > > It probably seems it is best to setup dnf-local-plugin which keeps all the > > packages ever installed on my system. > > You may keep all of the installed package un /var/cache, but not > having many diferent version installed at the same time. > I am not very clear on what you are trying to say. dnf-plugins-extras-local will create a local repo, at a location of your choice, and keep all packages including all versions ever installed/updated on your system. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
