YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5) File Formats YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5)
yum-versionlock.conf(5)
yum-versionlock.conf(5) is the configuration file for
yum-versionlock(1) Yum plugin for excluding packages that aren't
listed in the versionlock file. The plugin will walk each line of
the versionlock file, parse out the name and version of the
package. It will then exclude any package by that name that
doesn't match one of the versions listed within the file (or,
optionally, any obsoleter of that package). This is basically the
same as doing an exclude for the package name itself (as you
cannot exclude installed packages), but yum will still see the
versions you have installed/versionlocked as available so that
"yum reinstall" will still work, etc. It can also work in the
opposite way, like a fast exclude, by prefixing a '!' character
to the version.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
yum-versionlock.conf(5) utilizes configuration options in the form
of
OPTION=VALUE
follow_obsoletes
This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the
versionlock plugin should look at all the obsoletes, and
see if any of the packages specified have an obsoleter. If
an obsoleter is found then all versions of that package
will be excluded. This option is off by default, as
yum-versionlock(1) will take some time to do the obsoletes
processing, and for non-rename obsoletes any issues you had
which kept you at a specific version of a package should be
different with another package.
locklist
This option is a string with points to the file which will
have the versionlock information in it. Note that the file
has to exist (or the versionlock plugin will make yum
exit). However it can be empty.
show_hint
This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the
versionlock plugin should print a hint message whenever yum
runs saying how many package updates available from the
repos are being blocked due to versionlocks. This hint
serves as a reminder that there are locks in effect and
that you may want to reconsider them since newer versions
of those packages have been released. Default is 1 (show
the hint).
