[Yum] how to ignore certain rpm while "yum update"

That is a simple one (to be confirmed by the observation that I can
answer it).
In yum.conf, within the "[main]" section (I place this last) put:
exclude=/package-/*
where "/package/" is the name of the package you wish to exclude from
update. For example, I exclude groff from updates via:
exclude=groff-*
Now /yum update/ skips the groff updates (with a message to indicate the
existance of the global exclude).
OK? Hope this helps!
