[Spacewalk-list] Exclude packages from installing via client configuration

[Michal Bruncko]

Hello list,

sorry for raising this very old thread. but it looks actual for me as I 
cannot find similar feature in last spacewalk. please can someone 
confirm if this feature is implemented or not?
very simple example: I've subscribed for several clients a new 
respository (centos alt), but I dont want to use certain packages from 
this repo (as postfix, mysql libs and so on). It's possible to exclude 
it somehow from list of available packages? excluding may have global 
impact (for all subscribed clients) or local (based on selected hosts). 
any of both options will be fine.

thanks for response in advance

I have added the exclude = packagename*  to the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf file and perform yum commands and this works fine. When I perform a package install via Spacewalk and select the package that should be excluded and try to install that package it actually installs the package. Is there anything that I could do to stop the package from installing from the web ui?
