NAME
locks - libzypp locking fileDESCRIPTION
The file /etc/zypp/locks is read by libzypp at start-up if zypp.conf allows it. The entries are used for initial locking of packages. Locking a package means not allowing to install or uninstall it.Where attributes and their values are
described below.
ATTRIBUTES
All attributes are lower-case.specifies repository restriction. Only alias
is accepted.
By default all repositories match.
resolvable type restriction. The values can be
package, patch, pattern, product and
srcpackage.
By default all types match.
if strings are matched case sensitive. The
values are true, false, on, off.
The default is case insensitive.
status of object. Possible states are
installed, not-installed and all. If more install
statuses are specified then the last one is used. The values are
installed for all packages which are installed, non-installed
for packages which can be installed or reinstalled and all for both.
The default is all.
type of string matching in values. Does not
affect type and repo which must be specified exactly. The values
are exact, substring, regex for regular expressions,
glob for matching as on the command line, and word.
The default is substring.
String to be matched in multiple attributes.
Should be restricted by another attribute with empty value (it is recommended,
because without restriction expect some performance problems).
Restrict the lock only to some versions. It
contains two parts: an optional operator and the version.
The operator is ==, !=, <, >, ⇐,
>=. If operator is not specified then == is used.
The version has the format [
epoch:]version[-release].
Example: version: < 0:0.11.4-2
name of object (e.g. zypper)
summary of object
architecture of object (e.g. x86_64,
i586)
description of object
license text of objects which request
accepting license by user
license of package (only for package) (e.g.
GPL2)
keywords which specify package (only for
package)
authors of package (only for package)
package group (only for package) (e.g.
Development/Tools/Version Control )
reference for update (e.g. bugzilla,cve) (only
for patches)
EXAMPLES
Exact PackageThis is the way YaST UI does it. Lock k3b
(e.g. you don’t want to update it).
-----locks----- type: package solvable_name: k3b match_type: exact case_sensitive: on
This is the way "zypper addlock
cross-*-gcc-icecream-backend" does it.
-----locks----- type: package solvable_name: cross-*-gcc-icecream-backend match_type: glob case_sensitive: on
Do not install new GCC. This format is used
when converting from the openSUSE-10.3 lock format.
-----locks----- solvable_name: gcc match_type: glob version: > 4.2
Locks everything which contains kde in the
name.
-----locks----- solvable_name: kde
Locks everything which contains kde in the
name, summary, or description.
-----locks----- query_string: kde solvable_name: solvable_summary: solvable_description:
