We have various Linux SLES10 SP3 guests under z/VM. We use YaST to apply
the patches using our local YUM server. However, I see the following
directory continue to grow.
/var/lib/zypp/cache/
This directory contains many other directories in the form of
Source.<random characters>/repodata. Each of these directories contains
various patches.
Question 1: Why/how does this directory grow? We checked novell-zmd and it
is set to off so it should not be running.
Question 2: Space is limited in our shop. Can I delete these directories?
I have these same patches on our local YUM server and this seems to be a
waste of space.
Thanks as always.
Peter
