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

Disable auto-update / Switching to LTS
Hello, How can I disable that Jenkins automatically updates itself? We are running on CentOS and using the RedHat Linux RPM packages for Jenkins. Our system admin has ensured me that the OS does not upgrade Jenkins. The reason for this question is that I would like to switch to the LTS version, but since the LTS always is a step behind the Latest and Greatest, I would like to avoid downgrading. (On that note - the Wiki page https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/LTS+Release+Line could need some information on switching from Latest and Greatest to LTS.) Have a nice day! Best regards, Markus
