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.
