a lot of of stuff here is above me, lol, but welcomed.

Add APT package hold management to the Package Updates module

Is package hold management just for Debian/Ubuntu systems? Is it not possible on other flavours of Linux. I am using Ubuntu so I am fine.

thanks for the update

There’s a dnf plugin for it, but I’ve never seen anyone mention using it.

No, DNF supports this as well. As Joe noted, DNF 4 requires a plugin for it to work, while DNF 5 already includes built-in support for held packages.

So, for consistency, we need to support it too:

What exactly versionlock doing? I have not investigaed it but seems wanted so just wondering what exactly the function is supposed to do?

versionlock is DNF’s equivalent of an APT package hold.

When a package is held, normal and scheduled updates will not change it. You can unhold it, or explicitly update it once. Webmin then holds the newly installed version again.

I implemented it to gives APT and DNF systems consistent package-hold behavior.

Webmin doesn’t hold anything. The package manager does. :wink:

Sounds like a great feature. Not sure I will use it as I stick to the OS default versions and have not had a reason not to update anything.
