yum-versionlock.conf(5)
yum-versionlock.conf(5) is the configuration file for
yum-versionlock(1) Yum plugin for excluding packages that aren't
listed in the versionlock file. The plugin will walk each line of
the versionlock file, parse out the name and version of the package.
It will then exclude any package by that name that doesn't match one
of the versions listed within the file (or, optionally, any obsoleter
of that package). This is basically the same as doing an exclude for
the package name itself (as you cannot exclude installed packages),
but yum will still see the versions you have installed/versionlocked
as available so that "yum reinstall" will still work, etc. It can
also work in the opposite way, like a fast exclude, by prefixing a
'!' character to the version.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
yum-versionlock.conf(5) utilizes configuration options in the form of
OPTION=VALUE
follow_obsoletes
This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the
versionlock plugin should look at all the obsoletes, and see
if any of the packages specified have an obsoleter. If an
obsoleter is found then all versions of that package will be
excluded. This option is off by default, as yum-versionlock(1)
will take some time to do the obsoletes processing, and for
non-rename obsoletes any issues you had which kept you at a
specific version of a package should be different with another
package.
locklist
This option is a string with points to the file which will
have the versionlock information in it. Note that the file has
to exist (or the versionlock plugin will make yum exit).
However it can be empty.
