[arch-general] Selective upgrade: pacman -Syu, "yes" but not the kernel

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby]

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
