Perhaps it sounds something stupid. But why can´t i say to
pacman, that it should hold a package until a Update-Version
I choose.
Something like in dependencies with pkgver <= 1.0 in IgnorePkg. I came on it on every kernel Update or other big Updates. Sometime a update works well, but a minor update later makes problems. So I can freeze a version on a defined major-state. My alsa-driver changes working between Minor KernelUpdates several times. And when I later on look in changelog there wasn´t most time a reason to update. So something like ignorePKG = 'kernel<=2.6.24' in pacman.conf would be great to me. I know, it´s the same like just the IgnorePkG in pacman.conf and check it every time on Updates if they make still sense. But I think it´s just more comfortable. thx. BAUMI |

2. In my opinion small changes 2.6.24.1->2.6.24.2 are safer than big changes (2.6.18->2.6.24 :-P), and small version changes usually recommended bugfix (early versions of a major release usually buggy :-P)
3. Technically it is not hard to implement (but if we want to be consistant we should consider provisions here, too) and this will be almost compatible with the current implementation (but: don't forget about replaces -- now "ignore kernel" disallow kernel->kernel-ng replacement)
4. I don't think people want to add this to command line or edit pacman.conf frequently (when 2.6.24 came out you probably want to change 2.6.25)
IgnorePkg = kernel26 >= 2.6.25
to stay with .24
