== Exclude Updates
=== WHY??
Sometimes we need block specific package because some people want to keep old and outdate software because it works fine compare to newer version in their case.
* With the Command Line
Until a fix is available you can block the offending package from updating by adding an option to the command.
----
sudo dnf upgrade --exclude=packagename
----
* In Configuration Files
It is also possible to add the exclude option to the configuration file. If you use a gui update application this is the best option. You will need root permission to edit this file so use su - or prefix the command with sudo. Add it to `/etc/dnf/dnf.conf` and Exclude packages of this repository.
----
excludepkgs=packagename
----
CAUTION: use **packagename** with glob https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)[GLOBE] and separated by a comma, from all operations. Can be disabled using `--disableexcludes` command line switch.
* **Locking the package version**
You can use the `versionlock` plugin for DNF to keep it, is part of `dnf-plugins-core` or
----
sudo dnf install 'dnf-command(versionlock)'
----
Then add the version desired. For example:
----
sudo dnf versionlock add package
----
If you want to remove the locked version, use the delete option:
----
sudo dnf versionlock delete package
----
