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).

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>... Add a exclude (within versionlock) for the latest versions of the packages in the available repos. matching the given wildcards. yum ver- sionlock list List the current versionlock entries. yum versionlock delete <entry-wildcard>... Remove any matching versionlock entries. yum versionlock clear Remove all versionlock entries. FILES
/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 follow- ing 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. BUGS
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.
