...updating system (kernel, xfree...)

filattiera · 2004-04-29 12:29:03

Good morning.

The updating of the system is pacman -Syu.
OK.
During the updating, some packages as kernel and Xfree doesn't udpated caused by the pacman.conf.

Now, the only way is to do pacman -Sf kernle26 and so or other way?
Changing the pacman.conf is a good idea?

Thanks.
Luca.

in my opinion updating kernel26 and xfree86 doesnt hurt the system you should change the /etc/pacman.conf (only lilo must be at IgnorePkg )

Thanks.

I post you my pacman.conf about only general option:

[options]
LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow
NoUpgrade = etc/fstab etc/raidtab
NoUpgrade = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst

I don't have any IgnorePkg command line.
Where and how can I insert it in pacman.conf?

Thanks.
Luca.

Hi,

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -c %u
LogFile   = /var/log/pacman.log
NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow
NoUpgrade = etc/fstab etc/raidtab
NoUpgrade = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst
NoUpgrade = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf 
NoUpgrade = etc/pacman.conf
IgnorePkg = kernel
IgnorePkg = kernel26

..ciao Mr Green,

but in this way the kernel will don't updating or not?

I'd like to update both kernel and Xfree.

Ciao.
Luca.

PS.
Which is the HTH acronym?

HTH ...hope that helps

no the code I posted was from my pacman.conf I update kernel via ABS long story

you can set up pacman.conf so that it does not upgrade without asking the user or will ignore package altogether
