Hi,
In last update i had some problems with new versions of some
libraries. So i need to disable yum update for some packages? Is this
possible?
in your yum configuration file, ie /etc/yum.conf or yum.repos.d/fedora-
updates.repo
add
exclude=packagename
/daniel
It seems to be that it is more flexible to run:
yum --exclude="packagename" update
and the in this form can contain * characters. So you can exclude all
rpms whose name starts with kernel by using :
--exclude="kernel*"
The "--exclude" command-line option is exactly the same as the "exclude"
configuration file option. Both support wildcards. So you'd use the
command-line option for one-off exclusions, and the configuration file
option if you always wanted to exclude certain packages.
