Summary

0007041: Re-implement forward compatible exclude lists

Description

In ClearOS 6, the yum exclude lists look like:

  exclude=clamav-* ...

In ClearOS 7, this was changed (no tracker) to an explicit list:

  exclude=clamav clamav-data clamav-data-empty ... and a bunch more clamav packages

The former has the advantage of being forward compatible to upstream packaging changes. The disadvantage is the possibility of excluding too much if a new similarly named package comes along. However, this would only have the effect of excluding a package in the future.

The latter has the advantage of being an explicit list that won't catch similarly named packages. The disadvantage: when upstream package changes occur (e.g. Samba in CentOS 7.2), ugly error messages like this occur:
