how to find old packages - keep them in the first place.

For me the best way is to adjust /etc/yum.conf to keepcache=1

Then all rpms that are downloaded to perform installs/updates stay on 
your machine. {/var/cache/yum}

But don't run yum clean all nor yum clean packages, as this will erase 
the kept packages from the cache. You can still run yum clean metatdata 
dbcache if having repo/yum problems.

This works well for me since I either rsync or ftp the cache to another 
machine that needs updating...
