last-rpm

rpm ring buffer to maintain last X versions (and Y release per version).

Helps trim-down package storage by maintaining only the most recent and relevant packages in an RPM repository, like Foreman.

Quick Start

The utility operates on a comma-seperated input file. Currently, hammer-cli is used to generate such a file, with following fields: Id, rpm-package-name

Sample command to generate the export:

$ hammer --username USERNAME --password PASSWORD --server https://FOREMAN_SERVER  --output csv package list --repository-id REPO_ID --fields Id,Filename

Usage
