[users] How do I exclude subversion-1.7.X from rpmforge repo?

[Alfred von Campe]

We are running CentOS 6.X and the latest "yum update" installed subversion 1.7.1 (and git-svn-1.7.1, etc.), but we are not quite ready for Subversion 1.7 yet. What is the magic incantation (either on the yum command line or in the /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo file) to prevent installation of any 1.7.X releases of Subversion but allow installation of 1.6.X releases? I've tried a few options to no avail.

Thanks,
Alfred

You need to use priorities plugin (keep base repos safe from repoforge),

or to add
exclude=subversion*
to Repoforge yum repository config (/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo)

The problem is that I do want Subversion from the rpmforge repo; just not version 1.7.X. The previous version in the rpmforge repo was 1.6.15 which is what I want.

I guess I could live with Subversion 1.6.11 from the CentOS base repo...

Won't an "exclude subversion >= 1.7" in your /etc/yum..conf do what you want?

You'll also want to exclude subversion-devel, mod_dav_svn,
subversion-libs, subversion-libs,subversion-javahi, etc.

That sounds like what I need, but I couldn't get that syntax to work. It excluded all subversion packages from the rpmforge repo. I tried it in /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.conf.

I've looked through the man pages and haven't found anything that mentions excluding a package based on its version number. If anyone has any working examples (on CentOS 6), I'd love to see them.

Have you tried the "versionlock" yum plugin? It's in the CentOS base
repository for 5.x (yum-versionlock).

The manpage is a bit obscure about the syntax. Try this in /etc/yum.conf

exclude=subversion-1.7.* subversion-*-1.7.* mod_dav_svn-1.7.*

That sounds like what I need, but I couldn't get that syntax to work.

I've been using shell globs on the filename.

For a finite subset of "subversion >= 1.7", you could use:

exclude = subversion-1.7* subversion-1.8* subversion-1.9*
subversion-1.??.* subversion-1.???.* subversion-2*


Or if you wanted to be more precise, you could:
- edit /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo to exclude "subversion" from
[rpmforge] entirely
- manually duplicate the [rpmforge] section and name it
[rpmforge-subversion]
- add to this new [rpmforge-subversion] repo:
includepkgs = subversion-1.6.*

subversion-1.??.* subversion-1.???.* subversion-2*

Don't forget 'mod_dav_svn', which is built from the Subversion source and SRPM.

Why dont you use this version?The only way you want to use 1.6 is to
download the source code them install manually

[Alfred von Campe]

We are running CentOS 6.X and the latest "yum update" installed subversion 1.7.1 (and git-svn-1.7.1, etc.), but we are not quite ready for Subversion 1.7 yet. What is the magic incantation (either on the yum command line or in the /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo file) to prevent installation of any 1.7.X releases of Subversion but allow installation of 1.6.X releases?
