Script to delete older versions of rpm files from cache

Both tidy_rpm_cache and delete_obsolete_rpm seem to have been removed from all download locations. Wierd!!. A simple escript which can achieve similar results is mentioned below. Steps for using the scripts are:

1. Save the script as file "tidy_rpm_cache.escript"
2. Set execute permissions (chmod +x) on file
3. Install erlang (yum -y install erlang).
4. Execute escript as root user with arguments "no" <dir> for obtaining list of files that would get deleted upon confirmation. Pipe output to less as the list could be long.
5. Change argument "no" to "yes" to confirm and delete old packages. List of files deleted is printed.

%%    sudo tidy_rpm_cache.escript "yes" */packages
