Pin packages with yaourt
Hi,
is it possible to pin (the term that apt uses in Debian) packages with yaourt so that yaourt will skip upgrading them?
Thanks, Jamie

Re: Pin packages with yaourt
There's IgnorePkg in pacman.conf, maybe there's also a similar setting in yaourt's config - have you checked the man page?
Partial upgrades are not supported though.

yaourt using IgnorePkg from pacman.conf too. Add your packages there.

Hmm, it seems that yaourt also has undocumented options for package ignore: https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt/s … ef=cmdform

Re: Pin packages with yaourt
We have https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta but there's no mention of a 'pin' command, as the comparison uses dpkg, not apt:
echo "$PKGNAME hold" | dpkg --set-selectionsOffline
