I left the requirement on Usage = Search after every one disagreed with my patch [1] to change it. Although I would prefer it if Search had no bearing on this. So with this patch, Search is needed for a package to be listed and Upgrade is needed for [ignore] to not be added. > My plan is to change alpm_sync_newversion to take an additional > parameter to flag whether it should include all databases or just those > available for upgrades.

You need alpm_sync_newversion to find the packages then later we do the Usage = Upgrade check to add [ignored] to the end of the line. Unless you want the packages to not show up at all? That's exactly what the previous patch [1] did. [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2018-July/022723.html
