Overview<\/h2>\n

This document explains the files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory, which system administrators and third-party developers can use to modify cPanel-provided RPM management.<\/p>\n

\n
Note:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • All of the rpm.versions system\u2019s .versions<\/code> files are stored in
    \nthe YAML format.<\/li>\n
  • Because YAML is space-sensitive, misspelled words are common when system administrators edit a file manually. For this reason, we encourage system administrators to use the \/scripts\/update_local_rpm_versions<\/code> script to edit the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/local.versions<\/code> file. For more information, read our The update_local_rpm_versions Script documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Files<\/h2>\n

    The \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file contains cPanel-provided settings for the rpm.versions system, based on the version of cPanel & WHM that your server runs. However, the rpm.versions system allows any .versions<\/code> files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d<\/code> directory to override these settings.<\/p>\n

    The following table lists information about the files from which the rpm.versions system retrieves information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Source of changes<\/th>\nLocation<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    cPanel, L.L.C.<\/td>\n\/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code><\/td>\ncPanel, L.L.C. provides these settings based on the version of cPanel & WHM that your server runs. You should never<\/strong> directly edit this file, because you will lose your changes when you perform an upgrade.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Third-party developers<\/td>\n\/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/*.versions<\/code><\/td>\nWe encourage third-party developers who wish to override the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file to create their own *.versions<\/code> files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory. These settings override the cPanel-provided settings. If multiple *.versions<\/code> files on a server list an RPM target, conflicts may occur. For more information, read the Third-party conflicts section below.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    System administrators<\/td>\n\/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/local.versions<\/code><\/td>\nThese settings override all<\/strong> other settings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Third-party conflicts<\/h3>\n

    If a conflict exists between two or more third-party files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory, no RPM updates will take place.<\/p>\n

    A conflict can occur if two vendors modify the same setting in a file. You can resolve a conflict in either of the following ways:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. If the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/local.versions<\/code> file contains a modification to the same setting that caused the conflict between the vendor files, the setting that the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/local.versions<\/code> file specifies will override the conflict.<\/li>\n
    2. The vendors can resolve the conflict through changes to their respective files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      File format<\/h2>\n

      The files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory use the YAML format, and follow a structure that resembles the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file. However, these files should only contain the values that you wish to specifically override in the rpm.versions system.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \n

      For more information about this file format, read our The rpm.versions File documentation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      A file in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory that overrides only one RPM target will appear similar to the following example:<\/p>\n
