    Sure it does.

    Look at the man page for dnf.conf and check out the option
    "excludepkgs".  It can be
    placed either in the dnf.conf or in a specific repo file.


I wish I had the skillset needed to write a plugin for this...

I think he's looking for the same thing I am. I don't want dnf to ignore that a new package exists, I just don't want it installed by default.

For example, I maintain a package for the Ubiquity Unifi controller. Most of the time the upgrade completes without a problem, but even if it does, it can cause the latest firmware to be updated on all the access points. That's something you want to schedule, not happen automatically.

Thanks,
Richard

How about

python3-dnf-plugin-versionlock-2.1.5-1.fc27.noarch.rpm ?
