Bug Description
i'd like to ignore packages with similar prefix, but without version.
currently 'ignore = ' does not match packages if i don't include -* for the version field, but that would mask out the other pkgs too.
for example i want to mask out xorg-driver-video -nvidia, nvidia-legacy, nvidia-legacy2 packages:
Mesa-libGLU-
a) xorg-driver-
b) xorg-driver-
c) xorg-driver-
Which one do you want to install ('Q' to abort)? [a]
[source th]
ignore = Mesa-libGL-* compat-gcc-* xorg-driver-
results no nvidia drivers being visible
i suggest to compare only package name if no metachar is present in WORD
also would be excelent if i could specify multiple ignore LINES if the list goes unredable on one line.
and asking to use even %include support for ignores would be too much asked?
ok, could specify PART of the version, but it will work as long the version doesn't grow too much:
ignore = Mesa-libGL-* compat-gcc-* xorg-driver- video-fglrx- * xorg-driver- video-nvidia- 180.* xorg-driver- video-nvidia- legacy- 71.* xorg-driver- video-nvidia- legacy2- 96.*
