|
| |
+ == Exclude Updates
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ === WHY??
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Sometimes we need block specific package because some people want to keep old and outdate software because it works fine compare to newer version in their case.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ * With the Command Line
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Until a fix is available you can block the offending package from updating by adding an option to the command.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ sudo dnf upgrade --exclude=packagename
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ * In Configuration Files
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ It is also possible to add the exclude option to the configuration file. If you use a gui update application this is the best option. You will need root permission to edit this file so use su - or prefix the command with sudo. Add it to `/etc/dnf/dnf.conf` and Exclude packages of this repository.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ excludepkgs=packagename
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ CAUTION: use **packagename** with glob https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)[GLOBE] and separated by a comma, from all operations. Can be disabled using `--disableexcludes` command line switch.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ * **Locking the package version**
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ You can use the `versionlock` plugin for DNF to keep it, is part of `dnf-plugins-core` or
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ sudo dnf install 'dnf-command(versionlock)'
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Then add the version desired. For example:
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ sudo dnf versionlock add package
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ If you want to remove the locked version, use the delete option:
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ sudo dnf versionlock delete package
|
| |
+ ----
