IgnoreGroup and perl packages ?

Hello.

I want to test something, and I need to block every single perl update pacman or yaourt wants me to do.

How can I say to pacman I DON'T WANT to see perl packages to be updated ?

Something simpler than a line like :

IgnorePkg  = perl cairo-perl glib-perl gtk2-perl perl-locale-gettext perl-text-iconv perl-xml-twig perl-xml-simple perlxml

Thanks.

Re: IgnoreGroup and perl packages ?

Unless all these packages are in a perl group or something (which I doubt), I think the only way is what you did, a long IgnorePkg line.
But why don't you want to upgrade perl?
If there are problems with these updates, did you check all the bugs were correctly reported?

Re: IgnoreGroup and perl packages ?

It is all documented in the man pages...

--ignoregroup <group>

or

IgnoreGroup = group ...

in /etc/pacman.conf

[edit]
well, this obviously only works when they all belong to a particular group, as shining just told you

Because in [testing] it kills gnome system tools sad

And I want to go to [testing] because I want to live on the bleeding edge wink

Ok, but you skipped the most important part : where is the bug report ? smile
