[arch-general] pacman ignore packages by pattern?
Hello, Is it possible for pacman to ignore packages by a pattern like --ignore xorg-*? I remember the painful days I've spent when using catalyst, so I switched to xf86-video-ati, so as not to be bothered by xorg packages. --ignoregroup xorg won't work perfectly, since not all xorg packages belong to that group. But some packages do need to be in sync with xorg-server, e.g. xorg-server-common. It will be handy if I can just put "IgnorePkg = xorg-*" in my /etc/pacman.conf. Thank you. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

It would take less time to test than send an email asking...

Well, I've tested long ago, but --ignore xxx* doesn't seem to work. So I'm asking if there's some other options for that, or has anyone requested this feature before. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

Do you have something in your working directory named fluid...? Try single-quoting it.
