For upstream/Fedora the versionlock plugin now comes with a command, so, for example, to versionlock your Xorg drivers you just do: # yum install yum-plugin-versionlock [...] # yum versionlock xorg-x11-drv-\* [...] # ...but, yes, any help updating/maintaining the Wiki/FAQ/etc. would be appreciated. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
