[solved]upgrade only from one repository

Hey,

I use the ati catalyst driver for my graphic card. In order to work with xorg-server and xf86-input-evdev, this driver needs another versions than the newests. So I added a repository (xorg111) to pacman.conf with these versions (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … ositories).

To avoid pacman -Syu to install the new versions and destroy catalyst, I add these lines in pacman.conf:

[options]

IgnorePkg=xorg-server
IgnorePkg=xf86-input-evdev

But these commands forbid any upgrade even if an upgrade is done inside the good repository (xorg111).

Is there a way to upgrade these packages only when the upgrade come from the good repository ?

Re: [solved]upgrade only from one repository

if the xorg111 repo only has xorg server that you require, then simply placing it above the extra repo should work. That way all packages in xorg111 would be used in case of conflict.
