NAME

       yum aliases plugin

SYNOPSIS

       yum [options] alias

DESCRIPTION

       This  plugin changes other commands in yum, much like the alias command in bash. There are a couple of notable differences from shell style
       aliases though. The alias command has three forms:
	* alias
	* alias command
	* alias command result

       The first form lists all current aliases with their final result, the second form looks up a "command" and shows it's final  result  or	an
       error message. The last form creates a new alias.

Explanation of alias to final result conversion
       When  you  type	an aliased command, like "yum --disableexcludes UPT lsu" using the default aliases, the yum-aliases plugin first takes the
       first "command", by skipping over any options, and then looks up the result (in this case "UPT" is converted to "--enablerepo=updates-test-
       ing").  If  there  is  a  match,  then  it  will  replace the aliased "command" in the argument list and try again (again skipping over any
       options). By convention, in the default aliases list, alias "commands" that are in all CAPS only add options so you  can  join  together  a
       chain of them before any real command or aliased command.

       There  are two things that can alter the above, if you have the "recursive" configuration option set to off then alias processing will stop
       after the first alias to command substitution. Also, like in shell aliases, if the result starts with  then alias processing will stop.

EXAMPLES

       To create a new alias command called "rm" which does the same thing as the command "remove" use:

	      yum alias rm remove

       To always add the --skip-broken --disableexcludes=all --obsoletes options to the update command (but leaving the upgrade option alone), you
       could use:

	      yum alias update update	--skip-broken --disableexcludes=all --obsoletes

       To override the default "up" alias to use the above update command, and never ask for confirmation, you could use:

	      yum alias up update -y

NAME

       yum-versionlock.conf(5)

SYNOPSIS

       yum-versionlock.conf(5)	is  the configuration file for yum-versionlock(1) Yum plugin for excluding packages that aren't listed in the ver-
       sionlock file.  The plugin will walk each line of the versionlock file, parse out the name and version of the package. It will then exclude
       any  package  by  that  name that doesn't match one of the versions listed within the file (or, optionally, any obsoleter of that package).
       This is basically the same as doing an exclude for the package name itself (as you cannot exclude installed packages), but yum  will  still
       see the versions you have installed/versionlocked as available so that "yum reinstall" will still work, etc.  It can also work in the oppo-
       site way, like a fast exclude, by prefixing a '!'  character to the version.

FILES

       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf

FILE FORMAT

       yum-versionlock.conf(5) utilizes configuration options in the form of

       OPTION=VALUE

OPTION

       follow_obsoletes
	      This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the versionlock plugin should look at all the obsoletes, and  see  if  any  of  the
	      packages	specified  have  an obsoleter. If an obsoleter is found then all versions of that package will be excluded. This option is
	      off by default, as yum-versionlock(1) will take some time to do the obsoletes processing, and for non-rename  obsoletes  any  issues
	      you had which kept you at a specific version of a package should be different with another package.

OPTION

       locklist
	      This  option  is a string with points to the file which will have the versionlock information in it. Note that the file has to exist
	      (or the versionlock plugin will make yum exit). However it can be empty.
