[arch-general] Selective upgrade: pacman -Syu, "yes" but not the kernel
Hi all, I would like to make my system up to date except for the kernel. "pacman -Syu" propose to upgrade a bunch of softwares that includes the kernel There's nothing wrong on upgrading the kernel, but I would like to delay it to the week-end. It's not a definitive refusal, it's just temporary. How to tell pacman "OK for the upgrades, but dont upgrade the kernel for now"? It currently wants to proceed with Packages (43): firefox-29.0.1-1 gawk-4.1.1-1 gcc-4.9.0-2 gcc-libs-4.9.0-2 grub-1:2.02.beta2-3 gtkspell3-3.0.6-1 gvfs-1.20.2-1 gvfs-gphoto2-1.20.2-1 gvfs-mtp-1.20.2-1 gvfs-smb-1.20.2-1 imagemagick-6.8.9.1-1 intel-dri-10.1.3-1 libcacard-2.0.0-2 libcdr-0.0.16-2 libmspub-0.0.6-2 libreoffice-base-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-calc-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-common-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-draw-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-en-US-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-fr-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-gnome-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-impress-4.2.4-1 libreoffice-writer-4.2.4-1 libva-1.3.1-1 libxcb-1.10-2 linux-3.14.3-1 linux-headers-3.14.3-1 man-pages-3.66-1 mesa-10.1.3-1 mesa-libgl-10.1.3-1 nouveau-dri-10.1.3-1 nspr-4.10.5-1 nss-3.16.1-1 pacman-4.1.2-6 poppler-0.26.0-1 poppler-glib-0.26.0-1 python2-paramiko-1.14.0-1 sdl-1.2.15-6 unrar-1:5.1.5-1 xarchiver-0.5.3-4 xf86-input-evdev-2.8.4-1 xfce4-mount-plugin-0.6.7-1
According to Mihamina Rakotomandimby: # How to tell pacman "OK for the upgrades, but dont upgrade the kernel for # now"? pacman -Syu --ignore linux will skip the kernel when upgrading the system. You can do this as many times as you like, until you are ready to allow the kernel upgrade, at which time, you just run 'pacman -Syu' normally. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...

now"?
Check the --ignore option and ignore linux and linux-headers
