slackpkg blacklist question


Hi,

I'm trying to properly setup blacklists so my third party stuff doesn't get borked on the next update. Now, alien and SBo packages are straightforward, but I also used this DuganChen's tutorial for getting subpixel hinting on Slackware (http://duganchen.ca/writings/slackware/fonts/) - where I had to upgradepkg the 'patched' freetype package from /tmp. Now, I guess I have to blacklist that one too, so it doesn't get replaced by "stock" freetype? Which is the best way to skin this goat?

Thanks.

Just put "freetype" in the blacklist and save it. Simple as that.
