Node WebKit SDK (nwjs-sdk AUR) comes with a "free" version of libffmpeg.so that does not support .mp3 files (for example).
That lib is installed under
/opt/nwjs-sdk/lib/
.
I have manually replaced it with a prebuild version of the same lib that does support all media formats. The issue is that every time the package is upgraded, that lib is overwritten with the default one.
Is the a way to lock that file only?

Great thanks!

pacman's NoExtract option prevents files from being extracted from an updated version, but it doesn't prevent pacman from deleting the old copy in preparation for the upgrade. The file is still listed as belonging to that package.
Since this is an AUR package, it makes far more sense to modify the PKGBUILD itself. Although really, the PKGBUILD should not be arbitrarily restricting what ffmpeg can do. Actually, it should be using the system ffmpeg if it comes to that.
