3.4 Package Exceptions Settings
The Package Exceptions tab allows you to define which packages to exclude from the list of updated
RPM packages according to the package name or file name (see Figure 3–3, Package Exceptions Set-
tings).
To define a set of packages to be excluded according to the package name, click the
Add
button next
to the
Package Names to Skip
section and enter a character string including wild cards (*). A wild
card (*) at the end of the character string means all packages beginning with the character string will
be excluded from the list. A wild card (*) at the beginning of the character string means any packages
that end with the character string will be excluded from the list.
For example, if the string kernel* in the
Package Names to Skip
section, the
Red Hat Update Agent
will not display any packages beginning with kernel.
To exclude packages by file name, follow the same rules except click the
Add
button next to the
File
Names to Skip
section.
