Does anybody know of anything similar on RedHat? there is a yum plugin for this purpose. have a look: Name : yum-versionlock Arch : noarch Version : 1.1.16 Release : 13.el5 Size : 15 k Repo : rhel-i386-client-5 Summary : Yum plugin to lock specified packages from being updated License : GPLv2+ Description: This plugin takes a set of name/versions for packages and excludes all other versions of those packages (including optionally following obsoletes). This allows you to protect packages from being updated by newer versions, for example.
