Case in point. Upstream repository completely goes away, or goes
offline for a long period of time. I disable the repo in my configs,
but from time to time I still need access to the rpms and info that is
sitting in the cache dir. (do a cache only operation using this repo
and others). I don't want yum removing this out from under me,
especially if I have the repo disabled.
So you want a spool not a cache.
Any file in /var/cache can be nuked at any time, that's how /var/cache is
defined. I won't quote the FHS again, you can read it yourself.
