Scoop: Flag packages to ignore updates

Created on 1 Aug 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: lukesampson/scoop

Allow apps to be marked to ignore new versions, unless explicited via scoop update <app>.
Command scoop update * would skip apps flagged to ignore updates.

Useful for apps such as gcc which might contain custom libraries inside its directories, leading to broken experience under some circumstances.

Perhaps to pin/unpin a specific app: scoop pin app and scoop unpin app.
To pin/unpin all apps: scoop pin * and scoop unpin *?

Once an app is pinned, updates to it would be ignored until the app is unpinned, or uninstalled.

This would likely be useful for packages that auto-update themselves, like vscode and chrome.
