Description:
checkupdates doesn't ignore the packages specified in pacman.conf. Perhaps the pacman-Qqu line should include a pipe to remove packages from the IgnorePkg and IgnoreGroup lines in pacman.conf


Steps to reproduce:
Flag some packages (and downgrade them) to ignore in /etc/pacman.conf and then run checkupdates.
This task depends upon

Fairly sure we declared this a feature, but I can't find the other bug reports where this has been discussed.

I've attached a patch derived from my own pacman update notify script. Edit the PKGBUILD for pacman to include "patch -Np1 -i ${srcdir}/ignore_pkgs.patch" after entering the source directory in build to use it.

@falcindy : Oh all right. Don't mind the previous post then (unless you want to implement it). Checkupdates should probably be changed though, this time to use the "-Su" option.

perhaps the pacman -Qqu statement should just be changed to :
pacman -Su --print | grep -v '::'

When I fix this patch: https://patchwork.archlinux.org/patch/1259/ , it will be easy to filter.
