[CentOS-devel] Control when OpenShift get's updated on CentOS

Hello,
Many people are concerned about OpenShift Origin being updated
automatically when they do their normal system updates.  This is very
understandable.  OpenShift is more like an infrastructure than a
single program running.

We have created openshift-excluder.  It will exclude all openshift
packages from being updated via yum.  (If compiled on fedora, it does
the same for dnf)

How does it work.

1- yum -y install openshift-excluder
 * All OpenShift Origin packages are now excluded.

2 - yum -y update
 * All non-openshift packages are updated

3 - openshift-excluder unexclude
  * OpenShift Origin packages are no longer excluded.

4 - yum -y update
 * All packages, including openshift origin packages, are updated

5 - openshift-excluder exclude
 * All OpenShift Origin packages are excluded again.

When the openshift-excluder rpm is completely removed, it will
un-exclude openshift packages.
