impossible to ignore package NAMES

[Elan Ruusamäe]

i'd like to ignore packages with similar prefix, but without version.

currently 'ignore = ' does not match packages if i don't include -* for the version field, but that would mask out the other pkgs too.

for example i want to mask out xorg-driver-video -nvidia, nvidia-legacy, nvidia-legacy2 packages:

Mesa-libGLU-7.3-1.x86_64: required "OpenGL >= 1.2" is provided by following packages:
a) xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy-71.86.07-12.x86_64
b) xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy2-96.43.09-12.x86_64
c) xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy3-173.14.12-16.x86_64
Which one do you want to install ('Q' to abort)? [a]

[source th]
ignore = Mesa-libGL-* compat-gcc-* xorg-driver-video-fglrx-* xorg-driver-video-nvidia-* xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy-* xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy2-*

results no nvidia drivers being visible

i suggest to compare only package name if no metachar is present in WORD

also would be excelent if i could specify multiple ignore LINES if the list goes unredable on one line.

and asking to use even %include support for ignores would be too much asked?

ok, could specify PART of the version, but it will work as long the version doesn't grow too much:

ignore = Mesa-libGL-* compat-gcc-* xorg-driver-video-fglrx-* xorg-driver-video-nvidia-180.* xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy-71.* xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy2-96.*
