cautionary note to others -- my recent fighting with the "oldpackages" feed was due to my fedora rawhide build system recently upgrading to grep-2.21, which has the following aggravating change in behaviour:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2014-12/msg00007.html as in, now treating ISO-8859 text files as binary and, rather than printing the match(es), simply printing "sure, that binary file matches," which promptly screws up creating the oldpackages.index file. the specific culprit package that triggers this is clearsilver: $ file Makefile Makefile: ISO-8859 text $ as a quick hack, i just: $ export LC_ALL=C but i figured others might want to watch for this. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
