I have a server group where I can't upgrade/modify some RPM packages.
To prevent this Yum was configured with "exclude" option:
exclude=analog cpio coreutils dpkg openvpn rsync tar kernel
Now in Spacewalk we're using pkgSkipList:
# grep -i skip /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
pkgSkipList=analog;cpio;coreutils;dpkg;openvpn;rsync;tar;kernel*;
It works OK, packages can't be upgraded; but they still appear as
upgrade-ables in Spacewalk, screenshot available at:

Is there anyway to prevent appearing those packages in Spacewalk? It
will be very useful because of I use a lot of "Systems -> Out of date"
to find servers that need upgrades, and those server group always
appears.. but they don't need upgrades :-/
Hi,
How do you usually handle these issues?
I am running a few tests now creating new channels excluding the
packages that I don't want to upgrade, example script available at:
http://pastebin.com/f13a070cf
I use "find" to exlude packages and "cp -l" to link files instead of
copying, this method will save a lot of disk space.
Also, when uploading packages with rhnpush, Spacewalk will detect that
packages are the same, and only one copy of it will be at /var/satellite.
This method works and no extra disk space is needed.. but I would be
nice to have a method to exclude those packages directly in Spacewalk,
without having to do such tricks ;-)
What do you use to exclude package upgrades in Spacewalk? thanks!!
