Why IgnoreGroup option in pacman does not work
i made some packages and named them in 'lh' group, and i add 'lh' to IgnoreGroup in /etc/pacman.conf, but when the program need to be update, pacman just dont care the ignoregroup option and even no warning for that.
but IgnorePkg option works.
is that a bug?

Re: Why IgnoreGroup option in pacman does not work
Can you provide us more information? If these are your own packages and in your own group, where is the update coming from? Does the updated package also belong to the "lh" group?

Re: Why IgnoreGroup option in pacman does not work
no , i just compile some package without rename it, just add groups information.
so it would update when i use "pacman -Syu".
you can test it by compile a little package which have lower verison. and use pacman -Su.
but i dont know if only i have such problem. : )

Re: Why IgnoreGroup option in pacman does not work
I do not think IgnoreGroup works that way. My suspicion is that it checks the packages in the repo you are syncing in for the group (although I haven't looked at the code to check). So what you are trying to do is best achieved by IgnorePkg. I think this is probably worth a bug report, either to clear up the documentation of fix the implementation.

It is not a bug, it is just like Allan said :

Re: Why IgnoreGroup option in pacman does not work
my mistake, i just thought if i compile many packages, it was hard to control it not to be upgraded. such option is a little weird.
thanks anyway.
