YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5) File Formats YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5)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.

yum list data plugin
SYNOPSIS
yum [options] [command] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
This plugin extends yum for some commands that give aggregate package data based on lists of packages
added yum commands are:
* list-vendors
* info-vendors
* list-rpm-groups
* info-rpm-groups
* list-packagers
* info-packagers
* list-licenses
* info-licenses
* list-arches
* info-arches
* list-committers
* info-committers
* list-buildhosts
* info-buildhosts
* list-baseurls
* info-baseurls
* list-package-sizes
* info-package-sizes
* list-archive-sizes
* info-archive-sizes
* list-installed-sizes
* info-installed-sizes
* list-groups
* info-groups
all of which take the same arguments as the list and info yum commands. The difference between the list and info varieties is that the info
versions lists all the packages under each aggregation.
list-vendors, info-vendors
Is used to list the aggregate of the vendor attribute on the packages, examples are "Fedora Project" and "Red Hat, Inc.".
list-rpm-groups, info-rpm-groups
Is used to list the aggregate of the group attribute on the packages, examples are "Applications/System", "Development/Tools" and
"System Environment/Base"
list-packagers, info-packagers
Is used to list the aggregate of the packager attribute on the packages, examples are "Fedora Project" and "Red Hat, Inc.".
list-licenses, info-licenses
Is used to list the aggregate of the license attribute on the packages, examples are "GPL" and "MIT"
list-arches, info-arches
Is used to list the aggregate of the arch attribute on the packages, examples are "i386" and "x86_64"
list-committers, info-committers
Is used to list the aggregate of the committer attribute on the packages, this is taken from the most recent changelog entry of the
package.
list-buildhosts, info-buildhosts
Is used to list the aggregate of the buildhost attribute on the packages, examples are "mybuilder.example.com" and "xen-
builder1.fedora.redhat.com"
list-baseurls, info-baseurls
Is used to list the aggregate of the url attribute on the packages after discarding the path of the URL, examples are
"http://yum.baseurl.org/" and "http://www.and.org/"
list-package-sizes, info-package-sizes
Is used to list the aggregate of specified ranges the packagesize attribute on the packages, examples are "[ 1B - 10KB ]" and "[
750KB - 1MB ]".
list-archive-sizes, info-archive-sizes
Is used to list the aggregate of specified ranges the archivesize attribute on the packages, examples are "[ 1B - 10KB ]" and "[
750KB - 1MB ]".
list-installed-sizes, info-installed-sizes
Is used to list the aggregate of specified ranges the installedsize attribute on the packages, examples are "[ 1B - 10KB ]" and
"[ 750KB - 1MB ]".
list-groups, info-groups
Is used to list the aggregate of the yum groups that the packages are in, examples are in "yum grouplist". Note that in yum groups a
package can be in more than one group at a time.
It is worth noting that some of the above data can be "unknown", to yum, at which point a separate aggregation called "-- Unknown --" is
listed.
EXAMPLES
To list all the groups that have an update, along with the number of packages in each group, use:
yum list-rpm-groups updates
To list all the committers to packages that have yum in their name, use:
yum list-committers 'yum*'
To list ranges of the sizes of packages installed or available, use:
yum list-package-sizes
To list yum groups that have an update, use:
yum list-groups
