yum-versionlock - Version lock rpm packages
yum-versionlock [ package-name [ package-name]] ...
yum-versionlock(1) is a Yum plugin that takes a set of
name/versions for packages and excludes all other versions of
those packages (including optionally following obsoletes). This
allows you to protect packages from being updated by newer
versions.
The plugin provides a command "versionlock" which allows you to
view and edit the list of locked packages easily.
yum versionlock add <package-wildcard>...
Add a versionlock for all of the packages in the rpmdb
matching the given wildcards.
yum versionlock exclude <package-wildcard>...
Opposite; disallow currently available versions of the
packages matching the given wildcards.
yum versionlock list
List the current versionlock entries.
yum versionlock status
List any available updates that are currently blocked by
versionlock. That is, for each entry in the lock list,
print the newest package available in the repos unless it
is the particular locked/excluded version.
yum versionlock delete <entry-wildcard>...
Remove any matching versionlock entries.
yum versionlock clear
Remove all versionlock entries.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
The system wide configuration file. See
yum-versionlock.conf(5) for more information.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
The default place to put package version lock information
(one package and version per. line). The file takes entries
in the following format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See
rpm(8) for more information on custom query formats. If the
package does not have an EPOCH the number will default to
0.
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should
first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing
list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use
http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and
http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
yum-versionlock is available via:
# yum install yum-versionlock
