I don't want certain package become updated in my CentOS system, so I did remove the respective repository of the package.
Now if I run system update and upgrade that package are not going to be updated or is there still a chance of getting updates even after removing the repository?
For example, I don't want Opera to get updated so I removed it repository still I get an alert kind of thing to update Opera to latest version, so if I do a system update then would it still update opera?
This is my repository list:
google-chrome 3/3
home_tange 2/2
repo id repo name status
base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 9,911
elrepo ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el7 249
*epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 12,582
extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 305

To fix the version of a package, you should simply add to /etc/yum.conf:
[main]
...
exclude=kernel* redhat-release* whatever-package

actually i removed the repo for the opera browser but i still see this get latest security alert so my concern is if i restart my browser will it get updated as it happened once , but since it doesn;t have the repo so it shouldn't be updating technically

i have posted my repolist ,and i dont see opera in my repo so it mean it shouldn't be getting updated...

For opera it is correct, but generally speaking, it is not a good practice. If there was opeera in epel, your solution would not work, for example, or would require you tto give up all epel packages

okay got it but can you tell me how do i check if opera is in epel?packages or not ..

@krushnach Chandra, to check which a package or command comes from, you can useyum provides <package>. To prevent updates for Opera, you could configureexclude=opera.
