I have just done one FAQ for now as a start: Q4. second bullet Another way to pin package "foo" to a certain version is to use the versionlock plugin obtainable via the yum-utils package or from http://devel.linux.duke.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yum-utils/plugins/versionlock/ provided you are using yum >=2.3.3 After enabling the plugin, create a file called /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list which will be the list of packages to version lock. The file excepts package names in the form rpm -q <package name> --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n " or easier the standard rpm -q <package name> format. If this meets with your satisfaction I will modify some more questions.
