How To Install prunerepo on Fedora 36
Introduction

What is prunerepo
RPM packages that have newer version available in that same repository are deleted from filesystem and the rpm-md metadata are recreated afterwards. If there is a source rpm for a deleted rpm (and they both share the same directory path), then the source rpm will be deleted as well. Support for specific repository structure (e.g. COPR) is also available making it possible to additionally remove build logs and whole build directories associated with a package. After deletion of obsoleted packages, the command “createrepo_c –database –update” is called to recreate the repository metadata.
