[WBEL-users] yum

[Erik Williamson]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure that you need to specify the excludes in your yum.conf - 
here's an excerpt from the yum.conf manpage:

<snip>

exclude
   list  of  packages  to  exclude  from  updates or installs. This
   should be a space separated list.  Filename globs *,?,., etc are 

   allowed.

</snip>

So, adding the line:
   exclude=kernel* openssh*

Would prevent yum from playing with any packages whose names begin with 
'openssh' and 'kernel'.

Hope this helps!
