Ignore a whole group

abe.sinner · 2006-06-30 16:32:34

oi,

I wonder whether is is possible to to ignore a whole group of packages (fo example kde) during updating with pacman -Syu, if not wouldn't it be a good feature?

Group support for IgnorePkg? Perhaps it would be a good idea... Never really thought about it though.

i would second a request for this feature if it were possible... its just nice to be able to hold back a group of packages instead of adding each one to an ignorepkg line

i cant say i'd use it all that often, but it would be nice to have the flexibility to hold back "kde" or "xorg"

I think it should be IgnoreGroup instead of IgnorePkg. It seems like a simple addon and one that would be very useful.

Doesn't IgnorePkg support some simple regular expressions?

IgnorePkg = kde*

*cough* and it is 'whole', not 'hole'.. a 'hole' is something else.

$ pacman -Sg hole
hole

dig is in the bind-utils package, isn't it?

sorry for the spelling mistakes (I am dyslectic), but at least correct is my grammer. ;D
