[Enhancement] User should be able to "pin" a package version to suppress upgrades

Be able to suppress upgrades

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management_system#Upgrade_suppression

[rismoney]

This is a great idea. Can we store the ignores in the config.xml where the sources will be? This way a cup all accidental run does not have unintended consequences.

[ferventcoder]

We are likely putting together a packages.config file that will keep all of the installed packages...likely we will put it there.

Was going to create new issue, but maybe this is related.

Was going to suggest that the 'cup all' command had an option to EXCLUDE packages.

cup all -exclude "7-zip,notepad,etc"

oops.. OF COURSE I MEANT THIS COMMAND INSTEAD :)

choco update all -exclude "7-zip,notepad,etc"

to avoid using the alias.

[ferventcoder]

So it might be good to also have the ability to exclude at runtime. Log a
different issue and note that this is related.

ok.. BTW, alternative to the -exclude ... I still don't know how to list INSTALLED packages.

[codearoo]

... and also use the -source option.

For example... list all apps installed that have source "xyz"

[ferventcoder]

clist -lo

[ferventcoder]

That second part...log another issue. All these things are great fodder for the nuget ecosystem areas for improvement.

[codearoo]

oh yeah right.. thanks. just missing the -source option.. it ignores it.

I'll create another ticket though.

[ferventcoder]

There is no tracking at the current time of what source a package came from.

[codearoo]

Alternatively it could work like the "update" or "install" feature does, by
comparing the local list to the list of apps located at the source and only
show the intersection of the list.

well if package foo.1.0.0 is on one source, but foo.1.0.1 is on another source, do you really want to cross sources? My source names could be staging, test, dev, prod, and so latest might have different meanings.

Perhaps we should store a source.txt file inside each package listed in the lib folder, and then use when performing a clist -lo -source example.com

[ferventcoder]

Right now if you have multiple sources available, it will find the latest
package no matter the source. This is the current behavior of nuget.

I'd like this feature to support comparison operators, as I've mentioned in #346, so that bug fix updates (for example) could still get downloaded/installed.

[martinlong1978]

Any movement on this? I have a few things which I don't have licenses for the latest versions (nor do I have any need for them), yet "cup all" will just update them regardless.

[ferventcoder]

It's being handled in the rewrite.
