Yum Package Version Lock

Posted on | Edited on | In

yum versionlock, to restrict a package to a fixed version against yum update/upgrade.

The plugin stores a package list in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list, which you can edit directly. Yum will normally attempt to update all packages, but the plugin will exclude the packages listed in the versionlock.list file.
