Thanks drysdalk for the tips. That is indeed sound reasoning. I did find however, that the repomanage from the yum-utils RPM works wonders. This did the trick as far as I can tell. I'm still evaluating the results.
But my new repo may still be two large, though it is now down to 38000+ packages vice 42000+. I think I will try --keep=5 as I originally intended.

It's the end of the day and I just can't get my head around this. I'm trying to extract just the name of the RPM from the path to a .rpm file. So from:

Just a quick question on this, I've tried to run this a couple of times now - first time it failed I increased the swap. I'm not sure that increasing the physical memory will do any good, but will try later today - has anyone seen this or anything similar?

repodiff
repodiff(1)repodiff(1)NAME
repodiff - list differences between two or more Yum repositories
SYNOPSIS
repodiff --old=old_repo_baseurl --new=new_repo_baseurl
DESCRIPTION
repodiff is a program which will list differences between two sets of repositories. Note that by default only source packages are com-
pared.
GENERAL OPTIONS --old, -o
Add a repo. as an old repo. Note that if you prefix the url with "mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not a
baseurl.
--new, -n
Add a repo. as an new repo. Note that if you prefix the url with "mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not a
baseurl.
--archlist, -a
Add architectures to change the default from just comparing source packages. Note that if you want the same as a native "x86_64"
architecture machine you just need to pass "x86_64" (this is different from earlier versions where you needed to specify
"x86_64,athlon,i686,i586,i486,i386,noarch" and you still got "src").
--size, -s
Output additional data about the size of the changes.
--compare-arch
Normally packages are just compared based on their name, this flag makes the comparison also use the arch. So foo.i386 and
foo.x86_64 are different.
--simple
Output a simple one line message for modified packages.
--downgrade
Split the data for modified packages between upgraded and downgraded packages.
EXAMPLES
Compare source pkgs in two local repos:
repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and two local one:
repodiff -a x86_64 --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:
repodiff -a x86_64 --compare-arch --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new
--new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
repodiff --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386' --new='mirror:https://mir-
rors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade
