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.

Nope. Doesn't help. -- 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

Allan, what version of pacman did you use? This doesn't work with Pacman v4.0.2 - libalpm v7.0.2.

Allan (as well as Dave and Dan) always use recent git branches. The commit you are looking for is here: https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=902305f1633298ff0ef7cd2... -- Florian Pritz

Thanks for mentioning that. So I'd be waiting for the next release.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20360 It is scheduled for pacman 4.1.

Ah crap...

Sorry, I thought that had made the pacman-4.0 release.

Just another reminder that Allan doesn't really use Arch at all =)
