[sbopkg-users] Blacklist File

> I would like to request/suggest a "blacklist file" for SBopkg, similar to the one slackpkg uses (/etc/slackpkg/blacklist). The slackpkg blacklist file describes itself, saying:

>   INSTALLED PACKAGE IS NEWER THAN REPO
>   Installed version:  flash-player-plugin-10.3_d162-x86_64-2_SBo
>   Repo version:  flash-player-plugin-10.2_r153-x86_64-3_SBo
>   Note: repo version not obtainable by standard method, may be inaccurate.

IOW, you don't want to see that message?  The blacklist file would
simply mask or hide it from the update list?

What should happen if the repo version is updated and leapfrogs the
version you have installed?  Should sbopkg then unignore your
blacklisted package or continue to blacklist it?

What if you kept your own local repo using the 'local' repo feature with
a different tag?  Wouldn't that exclude the package from the update
list?
