“Freezing” layered package version?

[mikael]

I installed borgbackup using rpm-ostree install borgbackup. It installed v1.2.8 which I want to stay on.

That is, when 1.4.0 is available I still want to stay on 1.2.8.

How do “freeze” v1.2.8?

you can use the rpm-ostree --override replace PACKAGE command to keep a package from upgrading.

PACKAGE would be the link to borgbackup from the Koji build website.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

On the website search for the package you want to pin and rightclick to copy link.

so in your case the command would be:

rpm-ostree override replace https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2429410

YMMV of course and please double check the package link to make sure its the one you want.

Thanks @Plyply! I’ll give that a try? Do I need reinstall the app to make this work?

[Plyply]

Yuppers I think it needs to be installed first.

[mikael]

I have it installed. My question was if it needs to be uninstalled amd installed again with your line to make it work.

Oh sorry.

Just run the command as is. It will pin that version.
If you need to unpin run:

rpm-ostree override reset borgbackup
