Phil Edwards Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have a Mandriva 2008.1 server hosted with the ISP that I work for. I have taken the vanilla postfix source RPM, patched it to include support for sqlite3 lookup maps and built/installed the resulting custom package. This all works as expected. The problem that I now face is how to tell urpmi to ignore any further postfix updates that are released, since installing an updated Mandriva RPM would break the sqlite3 functionality that I have added. In RedHat Enterprise 5.x, which uses yum as its package manager, this is trivial to achieve - I would simply add 'exclude=postfix' to the config file for my updates repository. Is there a way to do the same with urpmi? I've looked through the man pages but not found an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 You can add postfix to your /etc/urpmi/skip.list /^postfix/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
