IgnorePkg list gets truncated

[protist]

I'm having problems with my system, so I have quite a few different packages ignored in /etc/pacman.conf

IgnorePkg   = linux-lts bbswitch-lts nvidia-lts jemalloc libmikmod bluedevil kdecoration breeze breeze-gtk breeze-kde4 discover drkonqi kactivitymanagerd kde-cli-tools kde-gtk-config libksysguard milou kscreenlocker kwin plasma-integration kuiserver plasma-workspace kdeplasma-addons kgamma5 khotkeys kinfocenter kmenuedit knetattach libkscreen kscreen ksshaskpass ksysguard kwallet-pam kwayland-integration kwrited oxygen polkit-kde-agent systemsettings plasma-desktop plasma-nm plasma-pa plasma-sdk plasma-workspace-wallpapers powerdevil sddm-kcm user-manager xdg-desktop-portal-kde

However, kalu tells me that some of these are still to be updated. I tried running kalu -d.

It appears IgnorePkg has been truncated by kalu.

Running the latest kalu-kde 4.1.0-2 (kalu with --enable-status-notifier).

Oh right... I have a fix for this, I'll push it soon. It's not a perfect fix, but basically it'll raise line limit from 255 to 4096, much like pacman's.

As a workaround though, you could always split those under many lines, might even help w/ readability; e.g:

IgnorePkg = linux-lts bbswitch-lts nvidia-lts IgnorePkg = jemalloc libmikmod bluedevil IgnorePkg = breeze breeze-gtk breeze-kde4

and so on...

Alright, fix pushed (to next).

Thanks for the report!

Oh, I didn't know that worked too. I tested, and both pacman and kalu are good with this.

I tested, and this works well instead. Thank you for the blazingly quick fix!
