Is there a way to lock a package to a specific major (semver)?
The package in question I'm looking to lock is NPM. v7 came out with a number of breaking changes that I think make for a much worse experience, so I'd like to stick to v6. While I can easily ignore all updates for the package, I'd still like to get any minor/patches as they may have bug fixes.
However, seeing as how semver isn't baked into the AUR, I'm wondering if this is even possible?
I haven't seen any other reference to this, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious, my Google-foo returned nothing really relevant.

You'd create a "npm6" package which tracks the 6.x line of releases.
... apparently there is ONE such package in the AUR right now, for npm4. IDK why.
