DESCRIPTION

12       yum-versionlock(1)  is  a  Yum plugin that takes a set of name/versions
13       for packages and excludes all other versions of those packages (includ‐
14       ing  optionally following obsoletes).  This allows you to protect pack‐
15       ages from being updated by newer versions.
16
17       The plugin provides a command "versionlock" which allows  you  to  view
18       and edit the list of locked packages easily.
