how to mask a package version (or disable upgrade of a package)?

hi there,

I'm having a problem with the new libtorrent-rasterbar (0.15.1-1) and I'd like to stick with 0.15.0-5 for now but everytime I run pacman -Syu, it wants to upgrade it back...

how do I prevent that? how to mask a package version (or disable upgrade of a package)?

thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the forums. You are encouraged to read the wiki before posting. The pacman entry is self-explanatory:

The wiki is definitely recommended, but in this case the first point of reference should be the pacman man page.

EDIT: it's not like I didn't try to find it, I just used wrong keywords
