slapt-get / automatic exclude - is it possible?

[lmello]

Is there a way to setup slapt-get so that it will automatically exclude a package from upgrading if a newer version is already installed in the system?

[gapan]

Yes, two ways actually.

1. Add the package in the EXCLUDE list, either from inside gslapt or straight in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc
2. Create a local repository in your harddrive with the packages you want and assign that local repository a CUSTOM priority in slapt-getrc.
