Why use Nexus 3 as Yum repository?

Thanks many good points for NXRM Yum.

• Storage management tools to cleanup old RPMs.

Can these tools also be used to move old RPMs?, as we do not want to delete them, but just move them away from the repository.

You mentioned in another discussion something about this.

@sverre.moe

There is no way to clean up older RPMs when updated RPMs arrive. We are working on a new cleanup feature that will initially be able to delete by age and last downloaded time (likely to be released in the next version) and in a future iteration of this feature we will be adding “keep n versions of packages”.

• Createrepo is run automatically as RPMs are added, updated or removed.

This is contrary to the documentation. It says the update runs at a configured interval (default 60 seconds).
