how to disable an update, e.g. for freshclam

[JeckPeppinger]

Saadly topgrade has a bug and fails with the freshclam update on linux (issue with sudo).
Therefore I want to deactivate the processing of the freshclam / clamav update, but have not found how to do that in topgrade.toml

I tried to add disable = [ "freshclam" ] to the topgrade.toml as google advised but this generates an error, i.e. is obviously not correct syntax.

I have not found any useful method to permanently disable the freshclam update via topgrade.

The command line option --disable clam_av_db works and could be wrapped with an alias command to avoid typing it over and over.

Any possibility to configure topgrade.toml to disable specific updates?

I just got permissions to fix this and will make a release no later than this weekend. Will keep you updated

The id's used in the config file are the same as in the CLI with the --disable option, so disable = [ "clam_av_db" ] should work!

@JeckPeppinger We have a new release out! See #1390 for more information.

Ok, thank you, sounds great, a corrected version will be very much appreciated, thanks!

I tried the disable = [ "clam_av_db "] and it produced the same failure as was raised by disable = [ "freshclam "]:

Whoops, I had a space in the wrong place:

-disable = [ "clam_av_db "]
+disable = [ "clam_av_db" ]

[JeckPeppinger]

oh boy, i have not seen it either. Thanks!
without space it works fine, sorry for the noise.

No problem!
