NAME

       yum filter data plugin

SYNOPSIS

       yum [options] [command] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  plugin  extends  yum with some options, currently just for "update" and "list update" type commands, to allow filters to be placed on
       which packages should be used based on the data in those packages. Note that due to some of the data being unknown, and thus could possibly
       match, all unknown data is treated as a match.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       These  are  the	options  added to yum that are available in the "list updates", "info updates", "check-update" and "update" commands. They
       are:

       --filter-vendors
	      This option includes packages which have a vendor which matches one of the passed vendor wildcard strings, or is unknown. Note  that
	      vendors can have spaces in their value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple vendors as one option argument.

       --filter-rpm-groups
	      This  option  includes  packages	which have a group which matches one of the passed rpm group wildcard strings, or is unknown. Note
	      that rpm groups can have spaces in their value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple rpm groups as one option argument.

       --filter-packagers
	      This option includes packages which have a packager which matches one of the passed packager wildcard strings, or is  unknown.  Note
	      that vendors can have spaces in their value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple packagers as one option argument.

       --filter-licenses
	      This  option  includes  packages	which have a license which matches one of the passed license wildcard strings, or is unknown. Note
	      that licenses can have spaces in their value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple licenses as one option argument.

       --filter-arches
	      This option includes packages which have a arch which matches one of the passed arch wildcard strings, or is unknown.

       --filter-committers
	      This option includes packages which have a committer which matches one of the passed committer wildcard strings, or is unknown. Note
	      that  committers can have spaces in their value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple committers as one option argument. Also,
	      committer values are so loosely formed that they could contain commas too, it is recommended to not do that but you can work  around
	      it by using "?".

       --filter-buildhosts
	      This option includes packages which have a buildhost which matches one of the passed buildhost wildcard strings, or is unknown.

       --filter-urls
	      This option includes packages which have a url which matches one of the passed url wildcard strings, or is unknown.

       --filter-package-sizes
	      This option includes packages which have a packagesize which is within one of the passed packagesize ranges, or is unknown.

       --filter-archive-sizes
	      This option includes packages which have a archivesize which is within one of the passed archivesize ranges, or is unknown.

       --filter-installed-sizes
	      This option includes packages which have a installedsize which is within one of the passed installedsize ranges, or is unknown.

       --filter-groups
	      This  option  includes  packages	which are in a yum group which matches one of the passed yum group id strings, or is unknown. Note
	      that yum groups can have spaces in their value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple yum groups as one option argument.

EXAMPLES

	      yum --filter-package-sizes=-1m check-update

       To list updates for a specific group use:

       To apply updates to a specific set of groups use:

	      yum --filter-rpm-groups='App*/System,Devel*/Lib*,System Environment/Base' update

BUGS

       Currently yum can't filter packages in all of the commands, so for instance "yum list 'yum*'" doesn't get the results filtered.

       Apart from that there are 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.  To file a bug use http://bugzilla.red-
       hat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
