Disabling package updates from Yum in Centos and AlmaLinux

Posted on by

Sometimes it happens that we don't want a package to get updated with the rest after running yum update.
Today, a simple way to block a given package from updating with the rest.

We log into the terminal and edit 2 files:

1
nano /etc/yum.conf

And

1
nano /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

And we search for or add a line:

1
exclude=httpd php mysql

It is located in the section:

## Exclude following Packages Updates ##

1
httpd php mysql

We replace with packages that we want not to be updated.
