pacman.conf advice please

Am I doing the right thing in pacman.conf?
I want to keep gnome 2.26. also are the NoUpgrade lines OK? I got them from a good source some time ago and never had a problem but thought I'd better check now.
I appreciate your advice
Thanks.

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg   = gnome gnome-extra
#IgnoreGroup =

NoUpgrade   = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers
NoUpgrade   = etc/fstab etc/ld.so.conf
NoUpgrade   = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade   = etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf
NoUpgrade   = boot/grub/menu.lst
NoUpgrade   = etc/issue
#NoExtract   =

gnome and gnome-extra are groups, so I would use the IgnoreGroup line instead.

I believe everything you have listed as "NoUpgrade" is already packaged as files to be protected during upgrade (using the backup() array in the PKGBUILD)

Thanks skottish, I changed them to IgnoreGroup

fukawi2,
Does that mean I can delete the files in NoUpgrade or can I just leave them there and it won't make a difference?
