I was under impression that Fedora's yum and it's GUIs can pin the packages and that kernel is pin-ed by default (I think 3 or 5 versions of kernel are kept together). You can also protect the packages from being updated, changed, deleted or modified in any way, as far as I know (except by rpm -U or rpm -e, of course). I might be wrong. On the other hand, you can install the packages that would bring such functionality to openSUSE too. They are called "yum-versionlock", "yum-protectbase", "yum-protect-packages", "yum-skip-broken" and so on. Only they work with yum, not with zypper/yast. I am not sure about Debian/Ubuntu, but apt-get is one of the most advanced package wrappers and I doubt that it doesn't support such basic functionality. Gentoo's portage also supports package or package group based version locks, release locks or what ever you like. Gentoo never deletes your old kernel packages unless you explicitly request the delete. - -- Filip Brcic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWWeb: http://purl.org/NET/brcha/home/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHQHXleugpoxYs6H8RAmnSAJ9m+hbXjuLuLhtSBjcAsykBYrEOywCeOGf+ kFDzp/L5ZZ4z5w6WDVb6A2k= =Itx/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
