NAME
       yum-versionlock - Version lock rpm packages

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

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 (includ‐
       ing  optionally following obsoletes).  This allows you to protect pack‐
       ages 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 pack‐
       ages  in	 the available repos. matching the given wildcards.   yum ver‐
       sionlock list

       List the current versionlock entries.   yum versionlock delete  <entry-
       wildcard>...

       Remove any matching versionlock entries.	  yum versionlock clear

       Remove all versionlock entries.

FILES
       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
	      The  system wide configuration file. See yum-versionlock.conf(5)
	      for more information.
       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
	      The default place to put package version lock  information  (one
	      package  and  version  per. line). The file takes entries in the
	      following format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See rpm(8)  for
	      more  information	 on  custom query formats. If the package does
	      not have an EPOCH the number will default to 0.
