NAME
yum filter data plugin
SYNOPSIS
yum [options] [command] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
This plugin extends yum with some options, currently just for
"update" and "list update" type commands, to allow filters to be
placed on which packages should be used based on the data in
those packages. Note that due to some of the data being unknown,
and thus could possibly match, all unknown data is treated as a
match.
GENERAL OPTIONS
These are the options added to yum that are available in the
"list updates", "info updates", "check-update" and "update"
commands. They are:
--filter-vendors
This option includes packages which have a vendor which
matches one of the passed vendor wildcard strings, or is
unknown. Note that vendors can have spaces in their value,
so "," is the only way to specify multiple vendors as one
option argument.
--filter-rpm-groups
This option includes packages which have a group which
matches one of the passed rpm group wildcard strings, or
is unknown. Note that rpm groups can have spaces in their
value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple rpm
groups as one option argument.
--filter-packagers
This option includes packages which have a packager which
matches one of the passed packager wildcard strings, or is
unknown. Note that vendors can have spaces in their value,
so "," is the only way to specify multiple packagers as
one option argument.
--filter-licenses
This option includes packages which have a license which
matches one of the passed license wildcard strings, or is
unknown. Note that licenses can have spaces in their
value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple licenses
as one option argument.
--filter-arches
This option includes packages which have a arch which
matches one of the passed arch wildcard strings, or is
unknown.
--filter-committers
This option includes packages which have a committer which
matches one of the passed committer wildcard strings, or
is unknown. Note that committers can have spaces in their
value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple
committers as one option argument. Also, committer values
are so loosely formed that they could contain commas too,
it is recommended to not do that but you can work around
it by using "?".
--filter-buildhosts
This option includes packages which have a buildhost which
matches one of the passed buildhost wildcard strings, or
is unknown.
--filter-urls
This option includes packages which have a url which
matches one of the passed url wildcard strings, or is
unknown.
--filter-package-sizes
This option includes packages which have a packagesize
which is within one of the passed packagesize ranges, or
is unknown.
--filter-archive-sizes
This option includes packages which have a archivesize
which is within one of the passed archivesize ranges, or
is unknown.
--filter-installed-sizes
This option includes packages which have a installedsize
which is within one of the passed installedsize ranges, or
is unknown.
--filter-groups
This option includes packages which are in a yum group
which matches one of the passed yum group id strings, or
is unknown. Note that yum groups can have spaces in their
value, so "," is the only way to specify multiple yum
groups as one option argument.

BUGS
Currently yum can't filter packages in all of the commands, so
for instance "yum list 'yum*'" doesn't get the results filtered.
Apart from that there are no bugs, but should you find any, you
should first consult the FAQ section on
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful in finding a
resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.
To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for
Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report
for all other bugs.
