          To disable single application from being updated automatically, while leaving other rpms enabled for automatic updates, add that rpm name to ignore list in /etc/yum.conf.



          You need to add the line exclude= and name of the rpm to ignore for updates.



          For instance if you don't want Apache(httpd) package to get updated you would add httpd* to that line:



          exclude=httpd* 


          If you are running yum update manually you need to use --exclude option:



          yum update --exclude=httpd*
