Even if it isn't doing auto-updates, jenkins might update along with the rest of the system whenever a 'yum update' is done. To stop it, edit /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo and add a line that says "enabled=0". Then it will only update if you change it to enabled=1 or override on the yum command line with --enablerepo=jenkins. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com
