[Yum] upgrade or downgrade as needed to versionlocked version.

[Steve Traylen]

Hi,

Using an SL6 box with:

yum-3.2.29-17.el6.noarch
yum-plugin-versionlock-1.1.30-6.el6.noarch

I then version lock a package so that i have:

# yum -q versionlock
xulrunner-1.9.2.13-3.el6_0.x86_64

And now I want to  that package directly regardless of current situation.

It seems I can run.

yum upgrade xulrunner
yum downgrade xulrunner

to catch the two cases where I am behind or infront of the locked package.

Can I go to exact package version directly always? I expect the older
"--allow-downgrades" may
have worked ? but this is replaced by the downgrade method I guess. So
supposing there was a "goto"
method then it would be possible to run

yum goto $(yum -q versionlock list)

Of course suggestions of how to solve the origional request of fixing
up to locked version
are also appreciated.
