Details

so gnome (80MB) moved from testing to current.
well I have to redownload to get the exact packages? Well I don't think so.
I tried
IgnorePkg = gnome gnome-extra

but doens't like me
so a feature request would be IgnoreGroup
cause it really hurted to manually type all this:
IgnorePkg = atk bug-buddy control-center eel eog evolution evolution-data-server IgnorePkg = file-roller gail gal gcalctool gconf gconf-editor gedit
IgnorePkg = gnome-applets gnome-common gnome-desktop gnome-games gnome-icon-theme
IgnorePkg = gnome-keyring gnome-media gnome-panel
IgnorePkg = gnome-session gnome-system-monitor
IgnorePkg = gnome-terminal gnome-themes gnome-themes-extras gnome-utils gnome-vfs IgnorePkg = gpdf gst-plugins
IgnorePkg = gthumb gtkhtml gtksourceview hal
IgnorePkg = libbonobo libbonoboui libgnome
IgnorePkg = libgnomecanvas libgnomecups libgnomeprint
IgnorePkg = libgnomeprintui libgnomeui libgtop
IgnorePkg = libidn librsvg libsoup libwnck
IgnorePkg = libxklavier nautilus nautilus-cd-burner
IgnorePkg = yelp zenity

It's been a while since this feature request was opened. I'm really looking forward to its implementation. It is not so nice to guess/add all packages related to kde/gnome/xfce4 etc.. and then adding them to IgnorePkg line. Just imagine how ugly it looks now;) Anyway, I just wanted to refresh this request as i'm sure many users will appreciate it, it shouldn't be too hard implement either.

Regards.

Sebastian, I while waiting got a DSL :) so not a problem now eventhough I know a lot of people (most of the people) in Greece having Dialup (56k or 64k ISDN)

To the devs: If you have a enough generalized way of doing this, then plz add HoldGroup too

hmmm this is a bug left over from the -t1 packages stuff...

Judd, do you think this is still needed ?
Comment by Nikos Kouremenos (zeppelin) - Sunday, 26 March 2006, 18:53 GMT
my reason was testing repo yea. but it's good to have IgnoreGroup and HoldGroup, else the concept of groups is not used 100%

This one can wait til pacman3 comes out. I'm trying to avoid new features in pacman2 now that pacman3 is the focus of development.
Comment by Dan McGee (toofishes) - Tuesday, 08 May 2007, 07:12 GMT
This one is old but seems like a decent idea. Anyone willing to give it a try for implementation in pacman3? It isn't on the top of my priority list.

a commandline option would be nice too pacman -Su --ignore-group <group>

This looks worthwhile for 3.1
