[AWIPS #WCV-509365]: EDEX install question - leftover "rpms" dir

Hello Pete,

Hmm, so there is a cronjob for the awips user that is supposed to run 
(/awips2/dev/updateNDM.pl) that looks for our repo and pulls just the latest 
ndm files, but all of that is supposed to happen in /awips2/dev/ndm directory 
(and then rpms/awips2.edex/Installer.edex/ndm). Do you have the files in that 
location as well? 

You are free to delete them. If they come back (because the cron runs dailey) 
then we will have to look more into why it's putting it in the home directory 
instead of /awips2/dev/ndm.
