So yes, these are created by repo-add as you noted. I don't have any objection from removing them from dbscripts, but for sane usages of repo-add these backup files are fine. By "sane", I mean all operations are batched into one go; e.g. adding 3 packages at once. I think Aaron has the right idea though and just don't copy the old files out of the temp directory. -Dan
