Yum and locking a package from being updated
April 5, 2009 Posted by mitch | redhat | 0 Comments
I have a special need for my mail server. Whatever the reason is that you can't get postfix compiled with mysql support in even the one off repo's for CentOS is I'm not sure. However, I still have a need for postfix with mysql support. Anyway, I don't feel like maintaining my own version for CentOS at the moment for lack of time... and with the latest release of CentOS5.3 or Update 3 for RHEL 5, I didn't want to upgrade, and have it break my postfix until I removed the newly installed version with the older release with mysql and postgres support. In the effort of avoiding that, I found a very nice yum module called "yum-versionlock". So I installed it with:yum install yum-versionlock
And Then I was able to add my postfix release I found from doing
rpm -qa | grep postfix
Then I added the output of the above line to: /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
After that, I was able to run yum upgrade without issue. I believe I'm liking yum more every day over apt.... just wish debian could do some updates to apt and make it a bit more user friendly... As I much prefer more things about debian systems more than I do Redhat ones anymore. Mostly the flexibility that's put into the packages and the modularity of the default configs.
Colbert is spot on

The 10-31 Project. I love Colbert!Random Quote:
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
