I'm trying to make a script to compile my already *AND UP TO DATE* installed packages for my cpu.
Right now it works well, but i'm facing the issue that i've to avoid building packages that are in my ignoregroup or ignorepkg (say - an old version of grub and flashplayer) and can't find a pacman option that tells me what packages i'm ignoring.
Suggestions?

Why do you need a pacman option to tell you, it's in plain text in pacman.conf? Use grep.

You can list them by hand or maybe grep pacman.conf.

Thanks.
You're suggesting to parse pacman.conf, but I'd like to find a way that works for every "setup"
Right now my pacman.conf is a bit... messy, but valid.
# ignorepkg = blablabla
#ignorepkg = blablabla
ignorepkg = blablabla
ignorepkg = blablabla #ignoring because...
ignoregroup = groupblablabla #comment here
# ignoregroup = groupblablabla #comment here
...And what i thought is that if pacman is able to do that, then i could avoid to reinvent the wheel that would be surely worse than the original...

pkgs="$(grep IgnorePkg /etc/pacman.conf | sed -e 's/IgnorePkg =//' -e 's/#.*//')"
grps="$(grep IgnoreGroup /etc/pacman.conf | sed -e 's/IgnoreGroup =//' -e 's/#.*//')"
[[ -n $grps ]] && pkgs="$pkgs $(pacman -Sgq $grps)"
*untested as I don't ignore anything.

Thanks, it almost works.
I corrected some uppercase in ignorepkg -> IgnorePkg and ignoregroup->IgnoreGroup, that's what happens:
IgnorePkg = hplip IgnorePkg = libv4l IgnorePkg = grub IgnorePkg = flashplugin base-devel base gnome-extra gnome calligra ladspa-plugins xfce4 xorg xorg-fonts fprint gstreamer0.10-plugins kde-meta kde kdebase kdeaccessibility kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim kdeplasma-addons kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils kdewebdev libreoffice libreoffice-extensions xfce4-goodies qt qt5 telepathy kde-telepathy texlive-most texlive-lang xorg-drivers xorg-apps cegcc linux-tools dlang dlang-dmd fcitx-im firefox-addons gambas3 dlang-gdc gnustep-core google-gadgets lxde i3 dlang-ldc qtcurve tesseract-data vim-plugins xmms-plugins xmms-io-plugins abc ifiction inform esclinux tads bepo
the first 3 packages are right, but it echoes "IgnorePkg =" too.
I don't know where the rest of the list comes from, it seems just a plain list of the available groups; probably done because i've no ignore groups?

Revised above.

How long have you been running with that list of ignores? especially base & base-devel groups! Is this some kind of breakage test?

satanselbow, that is not kokoko3k's actual ignore list, that was the result of the first version of my script which had a bug when no groups were ignored: if filled in everything as pacman -Sqg without any parameter lists every member of every group.

Yep it seems almost perfect:
# echo $pkgs
IgnorePkg = hplip IgnorePkg = libv4l IgnorePkg = grub flashplugin
Is this expected?
Anyway, another sed fixes it:
echo $pkgs| sed 's:IgnorePkg = ::g'
hplip libv4l grub flashplugin
I'll mark this as solved, even if i still wonder if there is a pacman thing that would do the same.
Thanks!

The initial sed command should have gotten rid of "IgnorePkg = ". I'd work to fix that rather than add another layer.
