We're in the process of upgrading several machines
(to the latest FC5 updates).  One machine has
already been updated, and keepcache=1 is asserted
in its yum.conf file.  Therefore /var/cache/yum/*/packages
is populated with many of the latest rpm's.

How can we utilize these packages on the other machine
to avoid downloading 0.6G each of duplicated rpm's on
each of the target machines?
