DESCRIPTION

       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).  This allows you to protect packages from being updated by newer versions.

       The plugin provides a command "versionlock" which allows you to view and edit the list of locked packages easily.

       Add a versionlock for all of the packages in the rpmdb matching the given wildcards.   yum versionlock exclude <package-wildcard>...
