<Closed> Using yaourt - under restriction

Hi

Is it possible that using the following in /etc/pacman.conf, I can restrict any notification while installing any package from this additional repo?

[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

from https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman … y_sections

HoldPkg = package …

    If a user tries to --remove a package that’s listed in HoldPkg, pacman will ask for confirmation before proceeding. Shell-style glob patterns are allowed.
IgnorePkg = package …

    Instructs pacman to ignore any upgrades for this package when performing a --sysupgrade. Shell-style glob patterns are allowed.
IgnoreGroup = group …

    Instructs pacman to ignore any upgrades for all packages in this group when performing a --sysupgrade. Shell-style glob patterns are allowed.

Here it needs to tell the package names, but I want it for all this repository, rather than mentioning indidual package names.

Thanks in advance.

Re: <Closed> Using yaourt - under restriction

Hold and Ignore are meant for that rare, special occasion and not for daily abuse. The time you waste by trying to come up with some dirty workaround would be better spent in learning how to install yaourt from the AUR once (!) and have it upgrade itself.
