6 yum-versionlock.conf(5)
7
10 yum-versionlock.conf(5) is the configuration file for yum-version‐
11 lock(1) Yum plugin for excluding packages that aren't listed in the
12 versionlock file. The plugin will walk each line of the versionlock
13 file, parse out the name and version of the package. It will then
14 exclude any package by that name that doesn't match one of the versions
15 listed within the file (or, optionally, any obsoleter of that package).
16 This is basically the same as doing an exclude for the package name
17 itself (as you cannot exclude installed packages), but yum will still
18 see the versions you have installed/versionlocked as available so that
19 "yum reinstall" will still work, etc. It can also work in the opposite
20 way, like a fast exclude, by prefixing a '!' character to the version.

26 yum-versionlock.conf(5) utilizes configuration options in the form of
27 OPTION=VALUE
29
31 follow_obsoletes
32 This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the versionlock
33 plugin should look at all the obsoletes, and see if any of the
34 packages specified have an obsoleter. If an obsoleter is found
35 then all versions of that package will be excluded. This option
36 is off by default, as yum-versionlock(1) will take some time to
37 do the obsoletes processing, and for non-rename obsoletes any
38 issues you had which kept you at a specific version of a package
39 should be different with another package.
40
42 locklist
43 This option is a string with points to the file which will have
44 the versionlock information in it. Note that the file has to
45 exist (or the versionlock plugin will make yum exit). However it
46 can be empty.
