NAME         top

       yum-versionlock - Version lock rpm packages

SYNOPSIS         top

       yum-versionlock [ package-name [ package-name]] ...

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.
        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
       versionlock list
       List the current versionlock entries.   yum versionlock delete
       <entry-wildcard>...
       Remove any matching versionlock entries.   yum versionlock clear
       Remove all versionlock entries.
