Also parse global pacman.conf IgnoreGroup

[seanrand]

Testing the waters with this PR, as this has been discussed and declared wontfix in the past.

I, like apparently some others (#388), have been using the (somewhat questionable) method mentioned in the wiki to prevent locally modified packages from being updated by editing the PKGBUILDs and adding a custom group, which is then added to pacman.conf's IgnoreGroup directive.

This would add any installed packages that are members of ignored groups to the list of ignored packages.

Still a "won't fix", but I'll be sure to include this if you manage to make the upstream RPC report that group information.

[seanrand]

@rmarquis AUR RPC actually does report group information, at least for the info query. ;)

[rmarquis]

Oh. I'll have a look shortly.

[seanrand]

I prematurely deleted my fork, but it can still be fetched with git fetch origin pull/690/head. Would probably make sense to add --foreign to the pacman call if/when you merge.

[rmarquis]

Yes, this is why I couldn't reopen this ticket - but I'll have a deeper look tonight.

[rmarquis]

The complete implementation requires more work than your little patch, since packages not-yet installed have to be checked against the IgnoreGroup array.

I'm opening a new ticket for this feature. Now tracked in #693.
