Hi
I need OpenVPN 2.3 because the end router has an outdated OpenVPN
version and OpenVPN 2.4 broke compatibility.
2 weeks ago I accidentally updated to 2.4 but I managed to do dnf
downgrade.
However, after I updated Fedora 25 today I can no longer downgrade, it
says it is at lowest version.
OpenVPN upgraded even tho I explicitely set
exclude=openvpn
in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
What is the correct way to avoid this in the future? How to properly
prevent package from updating?
Putting an exclude it in a specific .repo file or inside a "[repo-name]"
block excludes those RPMs _from that repo only_. The openvpn update most
likely came from the fedora-updates repo and your exclude wouldn't
have applied.
I think what you really want to do is put the excludes in the
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf file in the "[main]" section. That way the exclude
works on ALL repos.
