NAME

6       yum-versionlock - Version lock rpm packages
7

SYNOPSIS

9       yum-versionlock [ package-name [ package-name]] ...
10

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.
19
20       yum versionlock add <package-wildcard>...
21              Add  a versionlock for all of the packages in the rpmdb matching
22              the given wildcards.
23
24       yum versionlock exclude <package-wildcard>...
25              Opposite; disallow currently available versions of the  packages
26              matching the given wildcards.
27
28       yum versionlock list
29              List the current versionlock entries.
30
31       yum versionlock status
32              List  any  available  updates that are currently blocked by ver‐
33              sionlock.  That is, for each entry in the lock list,  print  the
34              newest  package available in the repos unless it is the particu‐
35              lar locked/excluded version.
36
37       yum versionlock delete <entry-wildcard>...
38              Remove any matching versionlock entries.

FILES

45       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
46              The system wide configuration file. See  yum-versionlock.conf(5)
47              for more information.
48       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
49              The  default  place to put package version lock information (one
50              package and version per. line). The file takes  entries  in  the
51              following  format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See rpm(8) for
52              more information on custom query formats. If  the  package  does
53              not have an EPOCH the number will default to 0.
